Jonette Jewelry Company, an esteemed American costume jewelry manufacturer founded in 1935 by Abraham Lisker in Providence, Rhode Island. Originally called the Providence Jewelry Company, it was renamed "Jonette" in 1944 to honor the founder's parents, John and Etta.JJ is legendary among collectors for its whimsical, high-relief novelty designs, especially its animal-themed lines, fantasy motifs, and articulated "moving" jewelry popularized throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Because the company closed its doors permanently in September 2006 after 62 years of production, authentic signed JJ pieces—especially interactive or mechanical designs like the swinging cat earrings—have steadily risen in value on the secondary collector market.
