What is the history of Sarah Coventry jewelry?

Sarah Coventry jewelry launched in the late 1940s as part of Emmons Jewelry, founded by Lyman K. Stuart. Sold through home party demonstrations, the brand became widely popular in the 1950s and 1960s for its stylish and affordable matching sets. Sarah Coventry designs were manufactured by outside jewelry makers and covered a wide range of trends. The brand continued after Emmons filed for bankruptcy in 1981, but increasing competition from direct-sales companies like Avon eventually led to its decline. Vintage Sarah Coventry pieces remain collectible today.

ABOUT SARAH COVENTRY

About Sarah Coventry

Emmons Home Fashions began in 1948 headed by Lyman K. Stuart. He named the company in honor of his mother, Caroline Emmons Stuart. Later the company’s name changed to Emmons Jewelry, Inc.

Stuart introduced Sarah Coventry jewelry shortly after establishing Emmons. The new line honored Lyman Stuart’s granddaughter, Sarah Coventry Beale (although some references claim that Sarah was his daughter). Both lines used home parties to sell their jewelry. Coventry jewelry was typically less expensive than the Emmons-branded designs.

Emmons contracted with jewelry manufacturers for their designs. Jewelry for both brands came in matching sets and designs covered all eras of jewelry. Sarah Coventry jewelry was very popular during the 1950s and 1960s and continued to be offered at home parties for a few years after Emmons 1981 bankruptcy, but eventually succumbed to competition by Avon.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE JEWELRY

Vintage Jewelry Care

Always handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust.

For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.
