Sometime during 1959 the mark was just "goldette" or "goldette" and they continued to use the mark into the 1960s, Goldette was used in script for most all jewelry items. They mainly produced jewelry designed in Victorian style in antiqued gold fashion or bright silver finish. Known for their large leaded glass sets and ornate metal work they would produce many items that have long since been discarded. The higher quality early jewelry in their line is getting harder to find.
