MIRIAM HASKELL
BORN IN 1899, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ART NOUVEAU VANGUARD,
she was one of four children, and the daughter of small-town merchants in Albany, Indiana. Some 30 years later, Miriam Haskell would have tea with Coco Chanel while selecting the upcoming season’s beads at Madame Gripoix’s- the finest source in Paris. While Miriam would bring her young design artist, Frank Hess, Chanel was alone. They would talk. Share ideas. Trade fashion celeb secrets. They were among a new class: independent women who began their careers designing jewelry to complement high fashion clothing in an exclusive boutique.
MIRIAM HASKELL OPENED HER FIRST BOUTIQUE IN 1926, “LE BIJOU DE L’HEURE” IN NEW YORK”S McALPIN HOTEL. She created collections for the society women of her day, the lavish productions of Flo Ziegfeld, as well as the couture of Coco Chanel. Joan Crawford, Lucille Ball, the Dutchess of Windsor, to name a few, were among her greatest patrons. It wasn’t long before her spectacular, custom-made jewels were sought after, collected and cherished. If history is any indication of the value of a Miriam Haskell piece, today’s collection promises continued appreciation- be it at an auction house, by chic women throughout the world or simply by generations to come.

HATTIE CARNEGIE - QUEEN OF STYLE
We just purchased a couple of items designed by Hattie Carnegie.
Here a little bio about her.
Hattie Carnegie (1889 - 1956) was fashion entrepreneur based in the New York from 1920s to 1960s. She was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary on 15 March 1889 as Henrietta Kanengeiser.
Hattie was the second oldest of seven children. Her father was an artist and tailor and was thought have introduced her to the world of fashion. She was known for her extremely elegant couture collection and secondary ready-to-wear lines. Her company is revolutionary in the sense that it's one of the first to introduce ready-to-wear to the high-end market. She pioneered the 'head-to-hem' boutique concept that pave the way for the future success of Ralph Lauren in America. Her company also discovered some of the most prominent American fashion designers of the twentieth century, such as Norman Norell, Pauline Trigère and James Galanos; for nearly a decade, the made-to-order department was headed by Pauline Fairfax Potter.
Hattie Carnegie was originally a milliner and owned a successful shop on East Tenth Street in New York named Carnegie - Ladies' Hatter. Despite the fact she had never sewn a seam in her life and had had no formal training, she swiftly opened a dress shop in Upper West Side and finally in 1923, she opened the famous Hattie Carnegie boutique at 42 East 49th street, close to the current address of Saks Fifth Avenue. At the peak of her time, her shop carried her own 'Hattie Carnegie Couture' collection, Paris couture imports from the likes of Chanel, Vionnet and Dior, a fur line, her several ready-to-wear lines under different names, a costume jewelry line, a cosmetic line and even a chocolate line.
Her dress designs were a massive success and soon she had such clients as Joan Crawford and the Duchess of Windsor. Hattie Carnegie's colorful clothing and ultra-chic costume jewelry, even today, are greatly sought after by fashion and jewelry collectors.
Hattie Carnegie enjoyed tremendous success throughout her career but the proudest moment came when she designed the Women's Army Corps (WAC) uniform in 1950. They were adopted for wear on New Year's Day 1951. June 1, 1952 Hattie received the Congressional Medal of Freedom[citation needed] for the WAC uniform design and for her many other charitable and patriotic contributions.[1] The WAC design was so timelessly elegant that it was still in use for women's U.S. Army uniforms in 1968.

Goldette of my dreams
Can you live without it?
I can't!
I can't get enough of this vintage Goldette necklaces!!!
A little history about this brand that we love.
Ben Gartner who did business as the Circle Jewelry Co., first used the mark of "goldette N.Y. in the fall of 1955.
They mainly produced jewelry designed in Victorian style in antiqued gold fashion or bright silver finish, mostly known for their large leaded glass sets, fobs and locket pendants.
Very famous are also their slide bracelets. Sometimes we are so lucky we can find double strand bracelets with central cameo. What a rarity and what a precious piece!!!
Please ask for pictures of our complete selection of Goldette pieces.
Thanks!!!
