Vintage Costume Jewelry
Whiting & Davis
Whiting & Davis is one of
the oldest costume jewelers in the U.S. According to Fred Rezazadeh, author of
COSTUME JEWELRY A Practical Handbook & Value Guide, the firm started
as a chain company owned in by William Wade and Edward P. Davis. In 1907 C.W.
Whiting became a partner, then full owner. They are known as silversmiths and also for their invention of a machine that could produce the fabulous
mesh bags. Throughout the 20th century they produced costume jewelry, the most
popular, besides the mesh necklaces, being their huge bangles and fabulous
cameos, reproduced from antique styles. Early marks for chains include W.C. Co,
for Whiting chain company; also W. & D. On most of their costume jewelry you
will find Whiting & Davis Mesh Bags or Whiting & Davis in a
cartouche.
