Van Dell
Corporation was founded in Providence, RI in 1943. Van Dell manufactured
gold filled, sterling and gold plated jewelry. They used rhinestones,
imitation stones simulating gemstones and both cultured and faux
pearls. The jewelry is usually of high quality with designs resembling
fine jewelry. Van Dell jewelry is not cheap and enjoys high book
prices.
