This is a 1960’s DODDS green Rhinestone Cat Brooch. This is a signed brooch. 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 jewelery. Creating their jewelry pieces, Dodds masters used colored rhinestones, multi-colored stones and lucite. Traditionally of high quality, some Dodds jewelry has a voluminous design. Appreciated by collectors, Dodds vintage costume jewelry is quite rare. Will gladly entertain all reasonable offers.
