I have read that the two with the strongest deco<br>design were made for the 1939 world's fair, I've seen that particular bangle<br>bring over $150 for one on multiple occasions, they both have the desirable<br>Felch mark. I've seen the fleur de lys bring over $100. Selling all four.In the<br>early 1900s, as Italy was continuing to become the world leader in fashion, the<br>Primavera family worked as jewelry artisans in the beautiful area of Pescara,<br>Italy. In 1918, the family founded Primavera Designs and by 1921 it had become<br>the largest jewelry company in the Abruzzo region. It was there that the family<br>became well known throughout the region for their ability to design and make<br>jewelry for royalty and wealthy families. Often one of the Primavera jewelry<br>artisans would go directly into the home of a patron to design and reproduce a<br>cherished object of art into jewelry. This continued in Italy until 1934, when<br>Mr. Victor Primavera, Sr. immigrated to the United States and incorporated his<br>company in Rhode Island; the jewelry capital of the United States. Primavera<br>Designs now had a United States division, known as Danecraft, with a small<br>factory and Mr. Victor Primavera, Sr. heading up the design and model making<br>teams. His forte in designing product was always timeliness. He often said that<br>it was easy to design a piece to be shown in a museum, but it took research and<br>talent to design product that would be worn by a woman with fashion sense.
