The Plainville company was founded in 1872 and produced fine quality 10-18 karat gold jewelry, as well as silver, gold and rhodium plated and inlaid products. In addition, the company's jewelers used gemstones, multi-colored crystals and zirconia. The Plainville Stock Company's trademarks are PS Co. and Patrician. The company ceased operations around 2008, and its early vintage/antique jewelry is certainly worth collecting and investing in, as it is very valuable in today's market. Spiral chain is an iconic formal and architectural detail that was especially popular in the post-World War II period. The decorative central ornament with symmetrical volutes and a stone in the center (light blue topaz) reflects classical forms, but presented in a modernist style.
