The creative duo of designers Oreste Agnini and Ralph Singer (Italian Raffaele Cantaluppi) used the name ORA for their jewellery. Originally, they made jeweled buttons and brooches for the Eisenberg line of clothing. But later, when they ended the cooperation with Eisenberg, in 1920-1930s, they began producing their own jewellery known as ORA. The name of their Chicago based company which employed 200 people, was Agnini & Singer. Their earlier products didnt have any mark on them however, already in late 1930s they began marking their jewellery pieces with the brand name ORA. According to some jewellery guides, the name ORA is a combination of the names Oreste and Ralph. But according to other sources, Ora in Italian means hour, and they advertised their jewellery as Jewels of the Hour. Most often ORA vintage costume jewellery features various motifs, from music to Masonic, Art Deco design, with an abundance of crystals. ORA always demonstrate high quality and creative design in their jewellery lines.
