Piscitelli Jewelry was a US company, mainly active in the 1980s and 1990s. Their jewelry is characterized by large, extravagant designs, often with pearls, crystals, and gold tones. The markings "Piscitelli©" and "Made in USA" are characteristic of the original works of this company. The design of these earrings: large clips decorated with imitation pearls, rectangular and round crystals. Style: typical of the "power glamour" of the 80s - bold and bright. Piscitelli earrings are quite rare on the market, but are valued among jewelry collectors for their style.

Piscitelli vintage jewelry was started by Italian-American designer Joseph P. Piscitelli in the late 1950s. A small team of designers and craftsmen hand-crafted high-end jewelry – earrings, rings, bracelets, brooches and necklaces. Traditionally, craftsmen used the highest quality materials – gold-plated metal alloys, silver, Austrian crystals, glass, and rhinestones. The Piscitelli family business was successful until the 1980s, and it is these products that are now the most valued in the vintage jewelry market.
