Here is some information about the Original by Robert company:

The company that made Original by Robert jewelry was founded as The Fashioncraft Jewelry Co. in New York, New York. The business was formed by partners Robert Levy, Irving Landsman, and David Jaffee in 1942, and the name of the company was changed to Robért Originals Inc. around 1960. Levy is known as the designer for the firm.

Adding an accent to his first name in the company’s moniker was done to give it a European flair. Many collectors refer to the jewelry as Robert, knowing that Levy was the designer, and there is no French connection.

Original by Robert Jewelry - History

Levy retired from the business in 1975. Ellen Jaffee, David Jaffee’s daughter, joined the company, and the name was changed in 1979 to Ellen Designs for Robért Originals. By 1984 the name changed again to Ellen Designs. The company appears to be out of business at this point, but the exact closing date is not precise.
The hand-manipulated pieces marked Original by Robért are often compared to some Miriam Haskell designs, Eugene, and DeMario jewelry since they all have a similar aesthetic. However, over the company’s time in business designs by Fashioncraft and then Original by Robért varied more widely and included cast or soldered jewelry heavily decorated with stones of various types or enameling. Jewelry made during the Ellen Designs period was typical of 1980s styles, including large dangle and door knocker earrings.
