A wonderful pair of clip on dangle earrings signed 'SARAHCOV' this means it was made by Sarah Coventry, this mark was first used in 1953 however I think the earrings are more of the 1960 -70 era.
They are a shimmery silver and very light weight with an embossed pattern to the top part, very pretty.
Sarah Coventry was named after the granddaughter of Lyman K. Stuart, the founder of the company. Established in 1949, it is recognised as the oldest direct selling jewellery company in the world. They did not design their own jewellery but used other manufacturers to produce their Sarah Coventry jewellery most of the production happened in the state of Rhode Island. In the mid-1980s a subsidiary of Playboy Enterprises. Inc (the publishers of Playboy magazine) owned the company, as it was planning on diversifying into a brand management company. It later sold the company in the 1990s; Sarah Coventry jewellery was purchased at home jewellery parties by "fashion directors" throughout the country.
However, Sarah Coventry jewellery was re-opened years later by new owners and was being distributed by representatives via catalogs, the Internet, home shopping networks, and other means. The company has since gone out of business. Sarah Coventry made sterling flower of the month pins in the late 1960s: carnation, violet, daisy, daffodil, lily of the valley, rose, lily, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, aster, calendula, and poinsettia. Watches were sold in inexpensive stores during the 1980s and 1990. Founded by Charles H. Stuart in Newark, NY Dorothy Rainwater states that Stuart filed for bankruptcy in March 1981, home parties ended in 1984. The Sarah Coventry name was bought by Lifestyle Brands, Ltd. in 1987. They tried home parties in 1994, but the venture only lasted about 6 months. In 2002, they had jewelry that was exclusively sold through Home Shopping Network (HSN). 2003 — Sarah Coventry started selling through a home party plan (current as of 7/04)
