The history of antique jewelry brand K & L began in 1884 in the jewelry capital in southwest Germany, the city of Pforzheim. Kordes & Lichtenfels manufactured high quality pieces which have become highly collectible and sought after. Traditionally, the craftsmen used the term “Amerikaner” for gold filled. In fact, ‘Amerikaner’ refers to a technique of heavy gold plating and it was more durable than existing gold plating techniques. So, Amerikaner means gold rolled jewelry. Noteworthy, at the beginning of the 20th century the company moved to Providence, Rhode Island and became known as Speidel Company. That’s why some pieces signed “Amerikaner” sometimes have marking SP for Speidel, or K&L for Kordes & Lichtenfels GmbH & Co. KG. The K & L jewelry trademark registered in 1963 and owned by Kordes & Lichtenfels GmbH & Co. KG, ceased to exist in 2004.
