Headquartered in North Providence, Rhode Island—historically known as the jewelry capital of the United States—the company produced affordable, seasonal costume jewelry and eventually managed 13 different sub-brands. History & Brand Evolution Accessories Associates Inc. grew steadily through the late 20th century by launching highly specialized, niche brands targeting specific consumer demographics. Their prominent labels and lines included: Femic: The corporation's first registered brand, established in 1971. Exclusively Kenco: Registered in 1981 to focus on standard fashion pieces. So Chick!: Launched in 1990 to capture early-90s trends. Sensitive Touch: Formed in 1991, catering specifically to hypoallergenic jewelry needs. American Woman & Solar Accents: Both launched in 1992 to capture patriotic and casual aesthetics. Frenzi & Adrienne Picard: Both rolled out in 1993 for higher-end or boutique-style designs. Design Characteristics & Identification The Maker's Mark: Authentic pieces are typically signed with an "AAI" or "AAi" block or stylized hallmark stamped directly into the metal backing. Common Aesthetics: The company hit its peak popularity during the 1980s and 1990s. Pieces frequently boast heavy gold-tone or silver-tone plating, central multi-faceted rhinestone accents, and detailed enameling. Thematic Motifs: AAI is widely recognized by collectors for its extensive catalog of holiday brooches (such as enameled Christmas trees, "Noel" banners, and winter ornaments) alongside classic botanical designs like lilies, floral clusters, and leaves.
