Florenza Jewelry
The history of the Florenza Jewelry Company is an important part of the story of vintage costume jewelry coming alive and manifesting itself in the US. Costume jewelry was used by women of various social classes in America to add a touch of glamour to their clothes and appearance. Many of these pieces of jewelry were well designed, colorful, crafted based on unique designs, and are now collectibles.
Initial YearsFlorenza Jewelry was initially designed by Daniel Kasoff whose original name was Kosovsky. He started off his career in the garment industry and it was chance that gave him an entry into the costume jewelry business. He was out dining when someone stole his coat. Mr. Speier was also in the same restaurant and paid him for a replacement coat. Kasoff repaid Speier the amount as soon as he was able, and Speier, impressed with his honesty offered him a job in Speier Costume Jewelry Co.
Florenza Mark In 1949-50, at around the time, Dan Kasoff’s son Larry joined the business, the company decided to brand its jewelry using the name Florenza. This name has nothing to do with Florence in Italy, but is a tribute to Dan’s wife, Florence. Distinctive Features Florenza jewelry was mostly designed by Dan Kasoff and his son Larry. Even when the business expanded and others were involved in the design of the jewelry, Dan continued to approve the final pieces selected for manufacturing.
