Vintage Doreen Ryan Gold Silver Toned Sea Shell Starfish Belt Buckle MR DELIZZA COLLECTION
Fun Doreen Ryan Belt buckle that looks like silver toned starfish on gold toned sea shells. The buckle measures 3.9 x 2 inches. Great shape.
After Mr DeLizza closed his factory he wanted to use his expertise to work for other designers. So he started working with Doreen Ryan. He says in his book on page 156-157. "For my next venture I adopted another manufacturer and put some of my expertise to work for her, and work it did. She was a wonderful young lady, Doreen Ryan. With my help she went from being a small-time maker to being a major supplier of belts and jewelry to the industry. I was very happy for her, and for a couple of years it went very well, but eventually it was too much for her."
This piece is one that was designed and manufactured by her company and was probably given to Mr DeLizza as examples of the designs they worked on together.
All of Mr DeLizza's jewelry is being documented both in a blog and in an online format that can be printed out in book format. I also have thank you cards hand made by him available for a certain $$ purchased.
