Caldwell & Co. has been manufacturing and retailing fine jewellery in Philadelphia since 1841. During the mid 19th century the firm was the chosen by agents of the women’s magazine ‘Godey’s Lady’s Book’, best known for its hand-tinted fashion plates, to fill jewellery orders placed by its subscribers. After receiving so many requests for jewellery designs the editors began to include illustrations and descriptions of the latest jewellery fashions, suggesting that the purchases be made through J. E. Caldwell & Co. Along with Tiffany, Starr & Marcus and others, J. E. Caldwell & Co. exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exhibitions in Philadelphia. The exhibition was in celebration of the nation’s birthday and designed to display the progress of the United States in arts, industry, science and commerce. Towards the end of the 19th century the firm manufactured beautiful Art Nouveau jewellery, set with unusual gemstones and of naturalistic design. They went on to create fine Art Deco jewellery throughout the 1920’s for which they are still recognised today. To this day, J. E. Caldwell & Co. continues to operate from its Chestnut Street location in Philadelphia.
