Expert in vintage costume jewelry from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s & 1950s

Hess-Appel Jewelry

Hess-Appel is not well-known in the vintage costume jewelry community. For one thing, their earliest pieces were unsigned, and their mark was JOLLE rather than the company’s name. In addition, they were in business for only 12 years. This piece was made in the company’s early years when, according to the Brunialtis, they produced their best work.
