The career of this fashion designer began in the clothing industry. But Alice was also interested in jewelry, so in 1945 she began to produce jewelry as an addition to her clothing collections. Further, all attention will be paid to the manufacture of gloves, buckles and jewelry only. Alice Caviness has been involved in all stages of jewelry design and production.

But to realize your creative plans and manage the company at the same time is not at all easy. So Alice’s Spanish husband, Jules Yanguerre, became co-owner of the firm. Well-known designer Camilla Petrenzio has become a partner of Caviness. Their joint work lasted until 1983.

Despite the high cost of costume jewelry, it sold well in boutiques throughout America. In 1965, and then in 1970, catalogs were published devoted to exhibitions that were held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the 60s, a new partner appeared in the company Louis Stever. 25 years after the death of Caviness, he will lead the company. Alice died in 1983. The company officially ceased to exist in 1990.

One of the most popular jewelry sets is a set made of transparent Cleopatra stones. Sets dominated by pastel colors have gained no less popularity. There were also jewels in collections made in West Germany. Buying a hotel product of this kind is quite difficult. And getting a whole set is real luck!
