Sherman jewelry, beloved by women for its extraordinary sparkle and quality when it was new, still attracts collectors for the same reasons more than 60 years after its manufacture.
In 1947, as a native of Montreal, Gustave Sherman founded his namesake company. However, before settling into the jewelry business, he tried his hand at a number of careers. According to his son Mark, Gustave Sherman’s life encompassed a varied past that included a stint in the U.S. Cavalry in Texas, enlistment in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II, and a short-lived post-war career in the life insurance industry. He also earned a living in rural Quebec buying and selling gold at a small profit to smelters. Through this profession he learned first-hand how women responded to and loved their jewelry – and an idea for a business was born.
After many fruitful years, the company’s fortunes suffered when rhinestone jewelry dropped in popularity and Sherman turned to more tailored gold-tone pieces. Eventually the company stopped producing rhinestone jewelry altogether in favor of sterling silver and gold designs. Gus Sherman closed the doors of his company in 1981, and passed away shortly thereafter in 1983.
