NOTE:
The Brier Manufacturing Company of Providence, RI was founded in 1911 by Benjamin Brier, Charles Brier and Samuel Magid and created “Little Nemo”. They made imitation diamond jewelry using stones imported from around the world. Some of their jewelry included Art Deco designs that had convex oval shapes that were produced in the 1930s having geometric texture openwork in gilded brass, bronze tone, gold tone, silver tone or pop metal bases that were embedded with clear and colored rhinestones and colorful glass stones.
The “Little Nemo” hallmarks were “LN”, LN25”, “LN50”, “LITTLE NEMO” inside the shape of a ring, “NEMO GOLD SEAL QUALITY LN/25”, “L/N”, “LN” inside a flattened diamond shape, “VENUS” in 1958, and “NEMO” in block letters 1955. The company ceased operations in 1978.
