Thelma Deutsch Jewelry, Vintage Thelma Deutsch Costume Jewelry

Many of Thelma Deutsch's costume jewelry pieces were made from vintage molds, including those from Hollycraft, Trifari and Eisenberg. She changed the look of the originals by using different platings and color combinations. Thelma Deutsch was known for bright colorful brooches and elaborate earrings. Her colorizations would not be confused with pre-1980's vintage jewelry.

Thelma Deutsch was best known for costume jewelry with japanned finishes with "tropical" color combinations, i.e. fuchsia, teal, and hyacinth or teal with purple. Thelma Deutsch produced beautiful costume jewelry in more conventional colors and metal finishes as well. It is believed that her earrings, which are huge and colorful, were her own designs. [There is no evidence that Thelma Deutsch ever made necklaces; bracelets are scarce.]
