MIRIAM
HASKELL

Some of the best and most collectible
Miriam Haskell jewelry was made in the first decades when Frank Hess
was her head designer, and this page shows a wide selection of them. Frank Hess was the head designer from about 1926
to 1960 and his talent is unrivaled. In the early days of Haskell
they put no identifying marks
on their jewelry at all, no signatures or logos. As a mater of fact it was not marked until
about 1947. Today the early unsigned pieces can be identified from vintage
art work and advertisements, and by their wonderful detail, hand
work and
design. Read more about HASKELL
EARLY UNSIGNED JEWELRY, see our article in JEWEL
CHAT and the feature on
HASKELL ART WORK & ADVERTISING.

UPDATE: Sadly there is a lot of
fake, put-together and reproduction Haskell being made to look like the real thing. Be
careful, and most of
all, buy from a reputable dealer who knows Haskell well and stands
behind what he or she sells.

MIRIAM HASKELL aqua glass bead balls
and clear rhinestone leaves necklace, strung on cord, circa 1940, 15" long
and about 1-1/2" wide.
These Frank Hess designs
are made with turquoise glass beads, some wired into the balls, roses montees,
and rhinestone-studded leaves and flowers. Note the seed bead attachments
and the rose montee inset into the balls. The detailed hand work in
this set is masterful!
Pieces of this set can be seen in "Miriam
Haskell Jewelry" by Gordon & Pamfiloff, pages 8, 131 and 139.

and flowers and rippled glass leaves. It is 7" long and adjustable and about 1" wide,
except where it crosses over in the front, which is about 2-1/4" wide.
Two of the little glass flowers are loose on their threads, so it will need
a bit of repair. The
base is a woven cloth-covered heavy wire coil so that it wraps around the
wrist and clings to it nicely. Pieces like this can be seen in the Gordon
