One of the most desirable names for collectors of costume jewelry is
Staret. This company, based in Chicago, was originally called the Star
Novelty Company, Inc. Records of this company exist as early as 1935.
The Staret mark is believed to have been used from about 1940-1947.
Staret pieces are known for their exuberant design and exceptional use
of enameling and high quality rhinestones.
