About Sarah Coventry

Emmons Jewelry Co. & Sarah Coventry were both founded by Lyman K. Stuart. Emmons Home Fashions began in 1948, named in honor Stuart’s mother, Caroline Emmons Stuart. Later the company’s name changed to Emmons Jewelry, Inc. 

Emmons introduced Sarah Coventry jewelry not long after the Emmons brand. 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, 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.
