Note: Pauline Rader was an esteemed designer whose creations are highly sought after by collectors. Pauline grew up in a family of jewelers and was passionate about the field since childhood. Pauline established her fashion jewelry brand in 1962, creating exquisite designs in a variety of styles. She was very fond of animal figures and the Etruscan designs of Greece and Rome. Only high-end retail stores and exclusive boutiques carried her collections. In 1982, the company closed. With only twenty years of high-quality jewelry production, her vintage pieces are limited and highly prized by collectors. See less
