Hallmark: RICHELIEU Richelieu Inc. was a cultured pearl manufacturer in New York City which formed in January 1933. Richelieu pearls were popular as an affordable alternative for consumers who were looking for inexpensive yet attractive jewels. They specialized in designing jewellery using simulated pearls, and rhinestones with spacers between the stones on gold tone or silver tone metal bases. Some of the pearl necklaces produced contained beautiful ornamental pearls and rhinestones on the clasp or as an added design feature on the necklace. The Richelieu costume jewellery is gaining popularity because of its outstanding distinctive designs. The Richelieu mark is still in use today by the Lisner-Richelieu Corporation (they merged in the late 1970s).
