BEAU OR BEAUCRAFT: 1947 - September 2004
Beaucraft Inc. began operations and produced “Beau” and “Beaucraft” jewellery in Providence, RI from 1947. The company was one of the leading producers of beautiful and unique fine sterling silver jewellery ever made for over half a century. The jewellery designs had originality, versatility, and impeccable craftsmanship. Vintage Beaucraft jewellery pieces are now considered highly collectible and in the same class of jewellery as Coro. Their latest designs took on a new approach by contrasting brushed and high polished sterling silver finishes, creating a completely original look that combines classic style with modern fashion. The jewellery designs include fish and seahorses in sterling silver metal. Mark: “Beaucraft” (In Sterling), “Beau B Sterling”, “B” with “Ster” or “Sterling”, and “Beau Sterling”. Beaucraft also made 14k jewellery.
