The history of the American company Dodds began in 1952. William Dodds was the successful owner of a plastic factory in Newark, New Jersey. Inspired by the jewelry boom in the United States, he, together with his partner, decided to open a subsidiary. They called it “Jewel Creations”. Noteworthy, in the mid-60s, William Dodds became the sole owner of the company and since then only Dodds mark has been used in his jewelry.
Located in close proximity to West 31 Street, Dodds’ production was on 11 W 30 Street. That’s explains such a strange marking “11 W 30 ST INC”.

See photos for sizing, condition, etc. Enlarge the images on your device. It can be helpful to see details more clearly. Message me ANY questions. I try not to list a ton of redundant info about the items pictured as I try to make sure the pictures/title/description tell enough of the story. All items I sell are checked for flaws seen by the naked eye. Pieces are typically pre-owned, hand-picked by me and will show signs of wear. This is considered normal. If anything is above and beyond this, I will note it and/or photograph it. I prefer there be no surprises. A happy, repeat customer is always my goal!

NOTE ABOUT VINTAGE:
These items are in many cases 20 to 80 years old. They have been loved, worn, used and will in many cases, show signs of wear. This is considered normal. I rarely, if ever use the word pristine, excellent or like new, especially when talking about vintage. It sets up the expectation the item is like brand new. Jewelry and hats can show patina and/or wear, and often does. Oils from our skin can impact the item over the years.

I sometimes use words like good/great working condition, great item, beautiful, lovely, stunning, etc. This again, does not mean perfect, untouched, or pristine. It means that as a reseller of vintage items I SEE and RESEARCH what else is out there and am offering an opinion. Your opinion may differ, as opinions often do, that’s where you need to be diligent about asking specific questions and researching it on your own too, so that YOU have a comfort level with your bid and purchase.

I prefer to sell items that do not have loose stones or crystals, or pins that come undone in a second! If this happens, I will disclose this to you.

Seeking out things to add to my shop Good Energy Treasures on Etsy and on eBay is a passion of mine. As a fine artist and collector, myself, I know a thing or two about the creative process and well-made objects. There are so many wonderful things to make us smile and bring pleasure to life that do not have to cost hundreds.

Smoke Free Home Filled with light, love and positive energy!

PLEASE message me before leaving a negative review. Working with the seller ALWAYS has helped me in the past when I have been less than happy with things I bought!
