Miriam Haskell Jewelry

Who is Miriam Haskell, you say?    Ms Haskell is an American costume jewelry designer born to Jewish immigrant parents, who created handmade affordable jewelry from the 1920s thru the 1950s.  You can see the art and and workmanship that went into her pieces by looking at her vintage jewelry available today, which is highly prized by collectors.  When I first saw Haskell's jewelry I was amazed at the depth and sophistication of this vintage designer. Her eclectic pieces manage to mix up styles in such an artful way so as to make one think they are looking at a simple uncomplicated piece. On the contrary, her designs are so modern, and so ahead of their time, that her influence can clearly be seen in today's jewelry and her pieces are still worn by fashion mavens worldwide, including Michelle Obama.   Take a look at my collection of Haskell pieces on Pinterest and feel free to comment on this website about your own Miriam Haskell experience!
