Original by Robert was a distinguished American jewelry line produced by the Fashioncraft Jewelry Company from the 1940s to the late 1970s. Known for its meticulous craftsmanship, the brand created high-quality costume jewelry using hand-set rhinestones, glass cabochons, faux pearls, enamel work, and richly textured metalwork. Many pieces have a romantic, Old World feel, with designs ranging from florals and cameos to bold statement brooches and earrings. Robert jewelry is often compared in quality to Miriam Haskell, and many pieces were wired by hand. Collectors prize Original by Robert for its artistry, distinctive style, and enduring beauty.
