Question
80's vintage silver
Back in the mid-80's I purchased the silver rings and earrings shown in the picture. Some of the rings are stamped Karola and some are physically signed Karola. I can't find anything on this artist except for a young girl, who is much too young to have created these items.
Also, I have a pair of silver earrings physically signed (and difficult to read) with the words Ooprey Co.
I would appreciate any information you could give me on these items.
AnswerHello Sharon and thank you for your inquiry. I found a listing for Karola jewelry online - don't know if it is the same as what you have but here is the link. There are several other links for the name as you mentioned. Just click on or copy and paste into your browser address field:

Sometimes jewelry designers were only in business for short periods of time and marks were not registered. If the mark is registered and not renewed, it can be purchased by someone else and changed to fit their needs. I haven't had any luck with the other company "Ooprey". I'll keep both of these in my active file and let you know if I find either of them in the future.
In the meantime enjoy your lovely set !
