D'Orlan Jewelry | Brooch, Earrings | Starburst Design | Old Luxe D’Orlan company was founded in 1957 by Mr. Maurice J. Bradden. Bradden was a tool and dye maker by profession. He originally managed a jewelry factory in Belleville, Ontario for Avon jewelry. In the mid 1950’s Mr. Bradden met a very well known jewelry designer in New York, his name was Marcel Boucher. Mr. Bradden became Mr.Boucher’s protégé and moved to Toronto in 1957 to open his own jewelry factory. The D’Orlan line was distributed in 30 countries throughout the world. D’Orlan was also the worldwide manufacturer for “Lancel” and “Nina Ricci” fashion jewelry. As a manufacturer D’Orlan tailored the Nina Ricci collection to a more sophisticated clientele, while D’Orlan was more whimsical, designed for a younger consumer. D’Orlan designed every item in house and became renowned for its high standards. Only the finest Austrian crystal stones are used in the product. The D’Orlan line is unique insofar as most manufacturing companies buy components from other companies and simply put them together, while D’Orlan manufactured everything in house with the exception of Japanese glass polished pearls and Austrian crystal stones. A very pretty star burst set consisting of a brooch and clip pair of earrings all in gold tone base metal in crested with faux gemstones which include: turquoise, coral, amethyst, green topaz and pearls.
