Cart with Christmas tree rhinestone brooch pin. 1990s. OTC Oriental Trading & Company rhinestone jewelry

The history of the OTC jewelry brand began in 1991 and lasted for about a decade. Oriental Trading & Company, based in North Little Rock, Arizona, ceased to exist in 1999. According to U.S. registration records, the company produced both costume jewelry and luxury jewelry using precious metals and natural stones.

Carefully working on creating jewelry by hand, the company’s craftsmen used high-quality materials. Among them are genuine Austrian crystals and rhinestones, gold and silver-tone metal alloys, and beautiful multi-colored enamels. A prong setting style of OTC jewelry adds to its elegance, and can be a great addition to any jewelry collection.

The traditional direction of jewelry design is dedicated to the main holidays – Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Halloween. In addition, a special place in the design (mainly brooches) is occupied by patriotic motifs, allowing anyone to express love for the country, especially on Independence Day and Flag Day. The back labeling includes the OTK abbreviation in capital letters on an oval cartouche and a copyright sign.

It is important to note that there is a larger and more well-known company with a similar name – Oriental Trading, which began in 1932 with a small souvenir shop in Omaha, Nebraska. However, the Arizona jewelry company has nothing in common with the well-known company that continues to operate successfully in Nebraska.
