Pennino Bros. Jewelry

This beautiful selection of earrings, brooches, and sets from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s was made by Pennino Brothers. This well-respected firm in New York City from 1926-1966 were known for the exceptional quality of their designs and materials, and their intricate workmanship. Their pieces feature high-end rhinestones set in rhodium- or gold-plated base metal, sterling silver, or vermeil sterling. Pennino jewelry was sold only in high-end department and jewelry stores. These Italian-born immigrants brought their talent, master goldsmith lineage, and pride in workmanship when they immigrated to the U.S. and started their business. Pennino pieces are hard-to-find and coveted.
