About the brand
The history of “Napier” began in 1875 in Attleboro – a city in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States under the name “Whitney and Rice”. In 1922 the president of the company became James Napier, who launched jewellery under the brand of his own name – Napier. Unlike many jewellery companies of the time, Napier did not stop any work during the First and the Second World War. Instead, the company wisely reconstructed the manufacture, having started making orders and medals.
In the 1950s the First Lady Mamie Eisenhower called Napier her favourite jewellery and almost never parted with given to her bracelet from the Egyptian collection. 
The Napier Company was sold in 1980. The new owner, Victoria & Company Ltd, releasing several unsuccessful collections, was unable to save any design or style of the famous jewellery brand. October 15, 1999 Napier brand ceased to exist, only a few months before their incredible 125-year anniversary.
