DENICOLA JEWELRY
1957-1970
Founded in the 1950s by Jerry DeNicola, his early line called "The Real
Look" was comprised of costume jewelry meant to look like fine
jewelry. Some of their well known pieces are the poured glass styles,
the zodiac line, and the frogs. DeNicola at it’s best is well designed and detailed, whimsical
and unusual. We have seen a gold hang tag that said "DeNicola for
Capri".

DeNICOLA
transparent blue pink and green poured cells in a gold plated setting.
It is a signed "DeNicola, pat pend" on the back and it is a 2" domed brooch,
late 1950s. In a vintage Hattie Carnegie ad for this same cell I
saw these called "molded multi-colored stones".

HATTIE CARNEGIE rose, blue and green poured glass
and clear rhinestones set in gold tone back-hinged 7" by 1-1/4"
bracelet and 1" earrings. Both bracelet and earrings marked on the
back "Hattie Carnegie". This is not a DeNicola set,
but it’s amazingly similar to them. #C25032

DENICOLA spectacular exclusive Neiman Marcus brooch with poured transparent
pink and green glass cells in a gold plated setting. Not only are the
colors absolutely beautiful, but the brooch is a good size at 2-3/4" by 2-5/16".
It was made at Christmas of 1962 and a vintage advertisement states that
it was a Neiman Marcus exclusive.
The Hattie Carnegie advertisement for this wonderful brooch describes it as "The
Majesty of stained glass, our new collection of poured glass pins and earrings.
The glass is actually melted then poured into the delicate metal frames.
$4.50 to $25.00, the NM exclusive collection by DeNicloa". The ad is
HERE and what fun to have this picture of it.

DENICOLA
painted mermaid ornament that is hand signed and dated 1990.
This is 4" by 3-1/3". It doesn’t seem as heavy as plaster, but heavier
than paper mache too, so I am not sure what the material is. This can
not have been made by the jewelry company of this same name because that
company closed in 1970, but it is a wonderful fantasy piece shown here just
for fun.

DENICOLA
painted angel face ornament that is signed by hand and dated
1990. This is 3-1/3" by 3-1/3". It doesn’t seem as heavy as
plaster, but heavier than paper mache too, so I am not sure what the
material is. She has the lovely 1920s era bow-shaped lips of Clara
Bow! This can not have been made by the jewelry company of this same
name because that company closed in 1970, but it is a wonderful fantasy
piece.
