Hattie Carnegie was an American fashion and costume jewelry designer of Austrian-Jewish descent. Her famous vintage costume jewelry is now highly recognizable and collectible. Take a look at the whimsical jewelry pieces below. Her jewelry featured what appears to be rhinestones and silver or gold-tone, along with celluloid, Lucite and Bakelite molds and beads.
The second picture below shows a sweet owl brooch with art deco headdress and crystal or rhinestone eyes. It is simply adorable.
I love the fanciful jade-colored rooster which is so full of personality and texture.
The third picture is her snail jewelry designed with elegant rhinestone and gold detailing.
