About the Designer
Run by Abraham Lisker, the company “Jonette Jewelry” started its activities in 1935 under the name Providence Jewelry Company. Then it became “Lisker & Lisker,” and finally Lisker brothers renamed the company, and “Jonette Jewelry Co” was established in 1944. Since 1970, the company became known as JJ.
The company mainly engaged in the production of shaped brooches of original designs. While other jewelers imitated antique jewellery, JJ focused on producing brooches and pins in the form of various fun figures.
JJ is known for its novelty jewelry, including figures and animal designs and its Christmas-themed jewellery. In the 1980s, JJ produced two specialty lines: “Artifacts,” a line of novelty pins, and “Santa Fe,” a line of American western jewelry.
