J.J. Jonette Matte Gold Majestic Lion Head Brooch

J.J. Jonette Jewelry, founded in 1935 by Abraham Lisker, shifted its name to J.J. Jonette in the 1940s, representing the initials of Lisker's sons. Starting with traditional jewelry, their innovation in using base metals like pewter allowed intricate designs at affordable prices. In the 1960s and 1970s, the brand embraced costume jewelry, crafting whimsical pieces that resonated with trends. While celebrated for stylish, affordable designs, the brand eventually faced challenges in the late 20th century and ceased operations in the early 2000s. This J.J. Jonette gold lion head brooch hails from the 1980s.
