DeRosa
jewelry is known for its complex dimensional design, high quality
components, translucent enameling and wonderful coloring. Ralph DeRosa
jewelry designs range from florals, figurals, retro motifs,
and designs inspired by the precious jewelry of the era. DeRosa jewelry is not
easy to find, but is certainly worth the search. This New York City firm
made jewelry from the mid-1930's until the 1970's, but like many jewelry
makers, their 1940's jewelry is the best.
