Goldette Is Not Native American Jewelry

Recently a lot of Goldette Squash Blossom style necklace have been showing up on Ebay. It's important to note that these pieces are not genuine American Indian jewelry. In fact they're not made from any noble metal or semi-precious stones.

Goldette (or Golette as one auction listed) is typical of American Costume Jewelry manufactured during the 1960's. According to Illusion Jewels http://www.illusionjewels.com/costumejewelrymarksg.html this company was own by "Circle Jewelry Products" beginning in 1958. Please visit their website for additional information on the company's marks.
