The history of the costume jewelry brand Longaberger began in 1991 and lasted for a little over ten years. The owner of the costume jewelry trademark was Longaberger Licensing, LLC, headquartered on Broadway, New York, USA. The company produced accessories, home decor items and jewelry under license from the famous Longaberger Company.

A characteristic feature of the jewelry design marked Longaberger was a wicker basket, which harmoniously fit into the style of jewelry. For example, a Christmas tree brooch, decorated not with Christmas tree balls and toys, but with miniature gilded baskets. Or a figural brooch in the form of a bear with a basket, a Thanksgiving brooch in the form of a basket with a harvest, etc. Noteworthy, famous designers and jewelry companies created jewelry for the company of David Longaberger. In this case, jewelry had a double marking, for example J.J. and Longaberger.

Founded by David Longaberger in January 1973 in Dresden, Ohio, the family-owned company made the hand-woven maple baskets that made the company famous around the world. With multimillion-dollar revenues and several thousand employees, the company made not only wicker baskets but also home and lifestyle products.

The company’s popularity peaked in the 1990s, and perhaps the crowning glory of the company’s popularity was its office, a monument to its greatness. The largest basket in the world, and also the 7-story corporate headquarters of the Longaberger company, built in December 1997. One of the main tourist attractions in Newark, Ohio, USA, the office is an example of unique architectural design. In 2013, Longaberger was acquired by CVSL, Inc. and closed in 2018.
