| Symmetalic
is the registered trademark of W. E. Richards company, founded about
1900 in Attleboro, Mass. and they are still in business. I'll
also be including jewelry here that's marked wRe ...which is
their main hallmark. W. E. Richards was the manufacturer of 10kt
gold and silver jewelry, mostly rings, pins and pendants. The
trademark Symmetalic was first used in 1936. Symmetalic jewelry
is mostly made of sterling silver, however, many items were coated
with 14kt gold, (Vermeil), and their designs reflect an Edwardian
and Art Deco influence. This company was known to use TOP QUALITY
stones and cultured Pearls. Symmetalic is hard to find and highly
collectible... and not produced. (Not sure of when they stopped
using the hallmark - Seems to be the 40's). However, W.E. Richards
Company is still in business.
