The marking "11 W 30 St Inc" is an early hallmark for the vintage costume jewelry brand Dodds Jewelry. The company used this address as a signature on its pieces before using just the "Dodds" name.
Dodds vintage jewelry, primarily from the 1950s-1970s, stems from William Dodds' Newark, NJ company, originally Jewel Creations, which sold DIY jewelry kits using rhinestones & lucite during the craft boom. Known for colorful, often voluminous designs and quality, their pieces are marked with "Dodds" (sometimes with a backward 'S') or "Dodds" with a copyright, and some early ones bear their factory address. They created affordable, decorative pieces, popular for their fun, customizable nature.
