In the 1950's & 1960's, Beaucraft was considered one of the major US manufacturers of silver jewelry. Beaucraft was nationally known for making 3D moveable charms that were both perfectly polished and of the highest quality. The items created were mostly sterling silver and/or gold-plated. They had a completely original look due to all being designed and manufactured in house.

In the 1970's & 1980's, Beaucraft was still based in Providence opened a showroom in New York and continued to be a leader is sterling silver charms and pendants.

In 2004, a scaling down of the business took place as both Luigi and Ray retired. Beaucraft moved to a new location but continued to stay in Providence, RI.
