Sarah Coventry Jewelry
has its roots in the Second World War. A wave of women's
liberation was sweeping the world. Women around the 1950s
were not given many jobs in the formal sector. It was
up to time to make ends meet, and they stormed the workplace
with a vengeance. Sarah Coventry Jewelry was also born
with such a vision in mind. The company was made for women.
Sarah Coventry was started in 1950 in Newark, New York by Sarah Ann Stuart. It sold jewelry in a rather unconventional way. The idea was to sell costume jewellery in parties, which were hosted by the company's Fashion Directors. This was a novel idea, which appealed to many women. The company provided ample scope for growth. The company gave its employees the opportunity to reach the pinnacle by becoming the National Sales Manager of Sarah Coventry.
The company of course specializes in costume
jewellery. Sarah Coventry jewellery items were not
just good, they were of excellent quality. This bode well
for the company. Its striking designs and a flair for
taste made a winning combination. The company was also
an example of managerial excellence. The designing and
making of the various Sarah necklaces and other Sarah
Coventry jewelry was done at other companies. Sarah Coventry
took care of selling the pieces. Their jewellery will
take you back in time. Each piece is lovingly crafted
with a particular setting in mind. Some of the pieces
have been named after places like the Monte Carlo line
for example. The designs are also made to suit a particular
occasion. They have pieces for teachers, antiques and
evening wear. Take a look in to the collection, you will
find one that's just right for you.
The company parties were the toast of town. This was the case in the heydays of the 1960s. Its fame spread far, and this gave the company marketing a lot of mileage. Most pieces of jewellery have turned into collector's items. There were television channels that even handed out the Sarah collection as prizes to contestants. One famous contest which was televised around that time was 'Queen of the Day'. Here the contestant would have to tell the judges why she should be chosen queen of the day, and she would win a beautiful Sarah Coventry Jewelry set if the judges were convinced.
The company went through a lag phase in the 1980s with parties dying out. But the company has come back with the renewed vigor. The company now has its website, where you can apply to become a part of the Sarah Coventry family. The website continues in the tradition of the past, and does direct selling now. It also advertises and sells products on the Shopping Network. The parties have started again. Most Sarah Coventry parties are a gala affair. The charm and brilliance of these collector's items are combined with the warmth of the Fashion Designers themselves. There are also many people online who are selling premium pieces of jewellery to the best bidder.
Sarah Coventry is a venture that has a history
as romantic as its creations. If you want to capture the
magic of vintage jewelry, your search begins and ends
