Stratton jewellery and accessories with their men's jewellery


Stratton jewellery and accessories. Once based in Birmingham and London - This company started in the 1860s and folded in the late 1990s. The brand name "Imitation" was also produced by Stratton.
They made a wide range of items from women's jewellery, men's jewellery, jewellery boxes, trinket boxes and accessories to buttons and not forgetting their range of famous compacts. All our items have been sourced here in the UK and photographed by us.

  2. Hi. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything about the Arita porcelain range. I have not come across any on my travels. Looking on the web, there are quite a few different styles and price range. My only advice would be to see if you can trace the patent number. Regards Sue
