About the brand
D'Orlan was a Canadian costume jewellery company founded in Montreal in the 1950s, becoming particularly well known for its beautifully crafted pieces during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
The company produced glamorous, high-quality costume jewellery, often featuring gold-tone metal, intricate textures, crystals, faux pearls and colourful glass stones. Many designs were inspired by fine jewellery and the changing fashions of each decade.
D'Orlan pieces were frequently signed, making them relatively easy to identify and collect. The brand developed a reputation for good quality and elaborate design, with some pieces closely resembling more expensive European jewellery.
Today, vintage D'Orlan is particularly appreciated by collectors for its craftsmanship, statement designs and excellent vintage aesthetic, despite being considerably less well known than brands such as Chanel or YSL.
