Vintage SARAH COVENTRY Jewelry

Sarah Coventry, started in 1950, was named after Charles H. Stuart's granddaughter, Sarah Ann. Stuart had opened Sarah Coventry's sister company, Emmons Jewelers, Inc., during 1949. Both companies did not sell jewelry through department or jewelry stores. Their costume jewelry was sold direct to consumers through home parties.

Sarah Coventry costume jewelry became quite popular in its time because of the quality of the jewelry as well as the jewelry's designs. Interestingly, Sarah Coventry jewelry was not designed or manufactured in-house. All Sarah Coventry costume jewelry was made by other companies in Rhode Island.

The popularity of costume jewelry started to decline during the 1970s, as did the sales of Sarah Coventry jewelry. The company was sold in 1984 and the jewelry parties stopped.
