A BRIEF HISTORY OF JEWELRY BRAND: Ostby & Barton Co., a jewelry manufacturing company, was founded in 1879 when Engelhart Cornelius Ostby and Nathan B. Barton formed their business partnership. Previous to their partnership, Ostby trained to be a jeweler at the Royal School of Art in Norway. He furthered his education and expertise with six years of apprenticeship working in his hometown of Oslo. Ostby was 64 years, 3 months, and 28 days old when he perished on the Titanic with 1,500 others. Despite the 1912 catastrophe, Ostby & Barton Co. continued to produce jewelry into the 1950s buy. Their advertisements boasted their large jewelry lines, and stated that they specialized in "emblem rings, stone rings, mountings, bar pins, misses' rings, cameo rings, cuff links, pendants, ladies' rings, festoons, men's rings, signet rings, tie clasps, baby pins, baby rings, band rings, brooches, earrings, and scarf pins." (The Jeweler's Circular, 1921.) Still to this day, Ostby & Barton jewelry is highly desired by collectors of fine antique jewelry for its beautiful workmanship and historical ties to the Titanic.
