Caldwell jewelry date back to 1839, when watch maker James Emmott Caldwell opened the doors of his Philadelphia wearable arts emporium. His target audience was always the wealthy Philadelphia jewelry buyer who had a penchant for the flair of European-style jewels. In the course of time, Caldwell added silver and objets d’art to his lineup of goods. It took the Caldwell name a few changes in location and of management to get established in the city. In 1868, the Caldwell location at 902 Chestnut Street was established. When the Art Nouveau fashion gripped the United States by the end of the 19thcentury, Caldwell’s artisans were instrumental in setting a tone for the trend. Their hand-made pieces were considered by many the definitive jewels of the period. In keeping with the Art Nouveau style, the motifs include examples of flora and objects rich in curvatures. Moving the store to the corner of Juniper and Chestnut in 1916, the Caldwell firm next tackled the Art Deco craze. Once again, the artisans embraced the new style and put their own spins on it. The result was a reputation for superior Art Deco jewelry that not only cemented the company’s name at the time but keeps making it famous to this day."
