Sterling Silver 22 grams 2”x 2” This was my great grandmothers, no flaws that I could find. I’ll leave it up to the new owner to clean, as I know some prefer a patina In the early 1900s, the Primavera family worked as jewelry artisans in the beautiful area of Pescara, Italy. In 1918, the family founded Primavera Designs and by 1921 it had become the largest jewelry company in the Abruzzo region. ​ It was there that the family became well known throughout the region for their ability to design and make jewelry for royalty and wealthy families. Often one of the Primavera jewelry artisans would go directly into the home of a patron to design and reproduce a cherished object of art into jewelry. This continued in Italy until 1934, when Mr. Victor Primavera, Sr. immigrated to the US and incorporated his company in RI; the jewelry capital of the US. Primavera Designs now had a US division, known as Danecraft, with a small factory and Mr. Victor Primavera, Sr. heading up the design and model making teams. He often said that it was easy to design a piece to be shown in a museum, but it took research and talent to design product that would be worn by a woman with fashion sense. ​Since 1934, Danecraft has been privately owned and operated by the Primavera family.
