There is a lot of history with the father and his daughter Helene who was on the Titanic and she made it off but her father perished in the accident. The family started making Jewelry in Norway in 1879 and 2 men formed a business using each last name. When they emigrated to the US, they worked with different jewelry companies to perfect their skills. From 1906, Ostby and his daughter made many trips to Europe to see the latest designs. They were planning to head back home to the US when they found out about the new ship and decided to take the Titanic. When the ship hit an iceberg they went to the lifeboats. It was cold so her father went back to the room to get her a coat. While he was gone, the crew insisted that she go into a lifeboat and her father would be in the next one. She would never see her father again as they found his body floating in the water. Helene returned to her home and decided to keep the business going with her brother and his daughter. They continued to do business until the 1950’s. They were one of the most highly desirable makers of fine jewelry and are very collectible now.
