Kafin Jewelry History —

Background information on the manufacturer of Kafin jewelry is scarce and sketchy though the firm's jewelry has been displayed in several books on costume jewelry. Kafin was a New York based company operating from, the 1946 to the 1963. The firm's jewelry is of above average quality and not very common in the collectible market. The Firm produced both rhinestone and metal jewelry. When signed, the jewelry is marked Kafin of New York or Kafin in script signature form.
