Founded in 1946 by Jerry
Fels, Renoir of California produced copper jewelry until about
1964. The Matisse mark was used only on the luscious enameled pieces
produced starting in the early 1950s.
The Sauteur line by Renoir was originally sterling pieces produced from the
mid-1950s until 1960. To accommodate changing styles and the difficulty of
producing the same copper designs in sterling, the line was redesigned with
the brushed gold finish. These “Golden Glow” pieces were only made
from 1961-1963. |
