Gloria Duchin Ornaments and Gifts - It all Started with the vision of one woman.

Posted by Eva DeCosta on 24th Jul 2023

Gloria Duchin, Inc. was founded in 1979 by its namesake Gloria Duchin. Gloria, a former model and business executive brought her fashion savvy and business expertise to the world of seasonal ornaments and accessories.

Gloria Duchin, Inc. has a strong relationship and presence in one of the largest department stores in the world. This relationship has an interesting story behind it. It all began with a conversation in a shared taxi ride to T.F. Green airport in Rhode Island. Gloria was leaving a meeting in Providence, R.I. on her way back to her New York City office.

A gentleman leaving the same building asked if she would mind sharing a taxi ride to the airport. On route he asked her what she did. She mentioned she had started a business designing and manufacturing gold tone engravable metal Christmas ornaments and jewelry items. He let her know that he was a jewelry buyer for a small store chain with only 279 stores and she may not know the name. That small store, at the time, was WALMART. Today, everyone knows Walmart.

In 1990, Gloria’s daughter, Robyn joined the business. Together the talented duo went on to expand their ornament and jewelry company to include inspirational gifts and keepsakes for baby, wedding, pets and more. Designing for Fortune 500 companies to midsize retailers, Gloria Duchin’s products can also be found in national museum stores.

One of the first ornaments designed for the launch of the company was this pretty bell. It was part of the Vintage Gold Collection and was in production for many years before retiring to make room for more designs.  

This adorable design was recently added back to our collection due to it's popularity.

                                               

Today Gloria Duchin has grown into a worldwide brand of metal ornaments, jewelry and keepsakes with over 100 million copyrighted ornaments in circulation.

All the beautiful pieces available are designed and made in the USA. Below are pictures of crystals being applied to a gift ornament and an assembly line getting the items ready for shipping.

                                              

                                                            

The ornaments have become collector’s items with many families adding to their collections every year and passing along the ornaments to their children as they go on to start their own families.

We continue to create new and beautiful ornaments to add to our collection every year.

Look for our new addition! A yearly Collectors Item!  Our first to be released in September.

Ornaments can be engraved. This process is done just before they are shipped out to our customers.

Throughout the years, Gloria Duchin Inc. has been proud to work with many organizations. One of those being Fatiques to Fabulous (F2F), where a dog tag bracelet was designed and created for the models to wear during New York Fashion week 2014 at the kick off show “Salute the Runway”. The bracelets consisted of two tags, one with the F2F logo and another with the names of fourteen women veterans who modeled the bracelets in the show. These incredible and inspiring women showed the world they are as beautiful as they are brave.

                                            

                 

Gloria Duchin, Inc. has also worked with Providence Ronald McDonald House, Hasbro Children’s Hospital, and American Heart Association. All organizations are so near and dear to us.

Since founding her company in 1979, Gloria Duchin's name has been synonymous with quality, gold-tone and pewter finished Christmas ornaments, corporate recognition items, and engravable gifts.  Guided by her commitment to delivering a superior product through solid business management, the company has built a reputation that extends from Canada to the Middle East.
