Haskell, along with Coco Chanel, were rare women at the top of the jewelry industry. Born in 1899 to Russian immigrant parents, in Tell City, Indiana.  Haskell studied for several years at the University of Chicago. Moving to New York City in 1924 with $500 in her pocket, Haskell opened a jewelry boutique in 1926 in the McAlpin Hotel, now an apartment building, in Herald Square.  A second outlet opened within the year at West 57th Street. In the 1930s, the company moved to 392 Fifth Avenue.  Frank Hess, principal designer,, created the company’s signature look of intricate, beaded necklaces and earrings.  All handmade, including elaborate tapestry beading.  Miriam Haskell was highly popular with Hollywood stars such as Lucille Ball as well as other celebrities including Gloria Vanderbilt, and the Duchess of Windsor. Joan Crawford reportedly owned almost every Haskell piece produced, from the 1920s through the 1960s.   Haskell became ill in 1950 and lost control of her company to her brothers. In increasingly ill health, Miriam Haskell died in 1981.  Frank Hess retired in 1960.  The company has gone through several owners and still produces jewelry today.  Designers after Hess include Peter Raines, Larry Vrba, and Millie Petronzio.Collectors highly price vintage Miriam Haskell jewelry.  In addition, watercolor prints originally used for advertising, showing models wearing large Haskell pieces are also very collectible.  Unfortunately, Haskell Jewelry was unsigned until the 1950s.  As a result, many unsigned beaded items are misidentified as Haskell.  Jewelry is still made under this mark but is of much lesser quality. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE JEWELRY How to Care for Vintage JewelryAlways handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust. For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.Buy our favorite jewelry cleaner here. SHIPPING & RETURNS We ship items within five business days.
