Her self-named line was well known to be high end, hand wired, intricate, unusual, and contain interesting materials and components. The attention to detail and beauty of the finished products quickly won fans among the elite, famous Hollywood stars, and the most stylish ladies of the day. Miriam began her career in New York city as a milliner but pivoted to jewelry in 1926, when she opened her first shop, named Le BIJOU del'HEURE. Translated from French "The Jewel of the Hour". Miriam was a very private lady so there is not a large amount of public information circulating about her personal life. She was recognized as an elegantly dressed lady with sharp style and a keen business sense. She was very involved in the day to day operations of her business and one of her best decisions was to hire Frank Hess, a jewelry designer and former Macy’s window dresser. He was her creative partner and helped to further develop her signature style. During the 1930s the business expanded - it occupied multiple shops and had headquarters on the famed Fifth Avenue in New York City as well as in Miami and London. Miriam Haskell jewelry was sold in the most exclusive department stores in America like Saks Fifth Avenue and also in Europe at ritzy shops like Harvey Nichols in London, UK. Miriam became ill in the 1940s and eventually lost her company to her brothers in the early 1950's. JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): These elegant clip-on earrings from Miriam Haskell are a timeless classic. The beautiful pansy flower design is adorned with faux pearls and hangs delicately from the lobe. The adjustable combo back ensures a comfortable and secure fit for any occasion, whether it be a formal event or a casual day out. Crafted with mixed materials and brass metal, these vintage earrings are a rare find for any collector. The sophisticated pearl and statement styling makes these a perfect addition to any jewelry collection. These earrings are a must-have for anyone who loves beauty, flowers, and art. CONDITION: Good vintage / pre-loved condition - the pearls show some random minor finish loss as most all of this type of glass pearl do from age and use. Mainly in well hidden areas - like on the bottom end near the hole. See pics. Brass components are well intact and hardware all in good working and holding order. In an excellent state of preservation.
