Just found your page.Very Nice

Hi Cathy. I have what I believe is an early unsigned Miriam Haskell brooch with a metal back with holes that is not covered.  It's 4" long and dangly with dark red glass beads and faux pearls. The style is definitely Frank Hess.  It's not in your book and I haven't seen it anywhere else.  Would you be interested in photos for your collection to document it?

Best - Julia Kaplan

Hi Cathy.  I found a bracelet that due to the colors of the dyed woods, I thought it might be Haskell.  If you could take a look I would appreciate it.  I have searched your site and quite a few others and didn't find a bracelet like this.  TIA Sandy

My mother collects Miriam Haskell brooches.  I enjoy buying them for her and researching their history.

LeAnn MooreSat, 31 May 2014 5:50PM

Hi, I'm just doing research on the characteristics of MH jewelry.  Thank You so much!

Great information, Your book is always quite helpful as well. I had found several Haskell pins prior to researching information about her. I identified them because the quality is superb.  Once you recognize the design and construction features characteristic of Haskell, you are almost certain to weed out the wannabe's versus the originals.  However, it is always very helpful to see new additions to your site to help in my search for her early pieces.

Re the leather pin you have in here - where you said "weird". I have something similar but more intricate where she used braided leather and wooden beads.  I would be happy to send you a picture for reference if you'd like.

Thanks so much for your thorough research.

I just found a signed piece yesterday in my collection and now that I've seen your collection I wonder if I don't have more that are unsigned--this was so informative (thanks for sharing!!!!)!

I am just beginning to research Miriam Haskell WWII Jewelry.  this album has been a great source.  Now I need to figure out where to purchase.

If your looking for a beautiful coral brooch by miriam haskell I have one!

Gina CaruoloSun, 29 Aug 2010 3:57PM

Your site is absolutely fabulous.  I have collected costume jewlery for about 30 years.  But really have got into it more in the past 5 years.  Great info!  Thanks.

LisaSat, 6 Feb 2010 6:42AM

Hi Cathy. I have a thread on the Ebay jewelry board on a gorgeous beaded brooch that I believe to be Haskell. The girls there said I should have you take a look, as it is promising!

Thank So Much!

Thanks so much for opening my eyes to this wonderful collection of Haskell's.  Marilyn

Rena DenmarkFri, 22 Aug 2008 6:23AM

Hi Cathy Thank you for all of this wonderful information. Some information has made me think that a brooch I have might be an unsigned Haskell from the 1920s-30s. I have posted a thread on the JGB on ebay. Could you please have a look and see what you think and if my understanding of the construction is correct. Thanks rena

BillSun, 2 Mar 2008 7:09PM

Thank you so much for putting this together to help educate everyone.

Norma HawleyFri, 2 Nov 2007 5:36AM

wonderful ....just wonderful

Donna JonesFri, 18 May 2007 6:40AM

Many thanks for the wonderful photo display. I'm having a real problem identifying a brooch and earring set, and I'm very grateful for your expertise. It's so refreshing to find quality information online!

Maria GarciaMon, 19 Feb 2007 1:31PM

I am looking for info on pieces from my grandmother and mother to find out if they are Haskells

Sharon WhitefordThu, 25 Jan 2007 8:13AM

An utterly fabulous look at unsigned Haskell. In reference to picture 128, the fur clip with bronzed leaves and rhinestone dangles, I have this design as a set consisting of fur clip, bracelet, and necklace in a bright gold finish which does not tarnish. How sure are you of the Haskell attribution? What led you to determine the fur clip was Haskell? Thanks for the wonderful slide show.

Great site. Very helpful.

Ricki Kaplan | www.rubylane.com/shops/lectiblesTue, 18 Apr 2006 9:09PM

I am not one to sign in to guest books!  I certainly can count on one hand the amount of times I have made comment to what I have seen on the sites I do sign into!  I want to thank you for sharing this with the public.  You have such fabulous pieces!  I am always shocked by the amount of beautiful pieces Miriam Haskell is responsible for!  This site has shown me I have been exposed to so little of her incredible work.. It is helpful also, since she didn't sign her work in the early years, everyone attributes their pieces to her, but there is no way to know, other than  to look for what one knows.  This site helps to broaden ones knowledge, and I truly appreciate what you have accomplished in these pages!

Thanks so much!

Ohh la laaaa...What a wealth of information and inspiration.  Thanks for sharing.
I work with vintage beads myself..Germany, Czech, Japan...
I am looked for pearlized glass beads on wire...Anyone can help??

MARTHASun, 16 Oct 2005 1:08PM

Love the pics.  Did MH sign some WWII pieces with a dove or bird?  Would the piece also have made in USA?

STEVENSat, 25 Jun 2005 7:24PM

wonderfull site, great referance, thank you

PEGGY THRAILKILLWed, 27 Apr 2005 2:24PM

I'm a new to this and it was just great seeing all of these examples of this beautiful work.  Than you for sharing.

Terry GaddisMon, 7 Mar 2005 2:34PM

Just discoverd my pin back (#151) with colors (#152) is an unsigned Haskell!  Beautiful page!

Phyllis ParrisSun, 27 Feb 2005 12:51PM

I have a pin just like the one shown on the right in picture #86, except it is about 4" long.  It is unsigned.  I would love to find out if it is a Haskell.  Anyone????

Fred KattauSat, 12 Feb 2005 5:18AM

Terrific page

Ann PitmanFri, 11 Feb 2005 10:03PM

What an amazingly generous person you are to share this breathtaking collection.  Thank you for your generosity.  They are all just too beautiful!

Linda KripkeTue, 1 Feb 2005 5:10PM

I am always overwhelmed when I view your wibderful examples of early Haskell.  Thanks you for all your wonderful research.

PamFri, 28 Jan 2005 3:47PM

just learning!

CamilleTue, 18 Jan 2005 6:41PM

I bought a pin that is made up of coral beeds and silver leaves. The back has what looks like a MH but my daughter says that Haskell pieces do not have initials, eith her name or nothing and this piece is not wired. It looks like her style. Can anyone tell me something about this possible piece?

mimiThu, 6 Jan 2005 11:20AM

Wonderful! So very nice of you to share

LewannMon, 3 Jan 2005 9:47PM

FANTASTIC!  They take my breath away.  I know I've had at least 4 of these and sold them, not suspecting they were Haskell.  Thank you!

Carla ThiemeTue, 28 Dec 2004 12:11AM

WOW!!! Thanks for the visual treat.

Frances FelixMon, 25 Oct 2004 7:48AM

A tour de force site.  Scrumptious pieces.  Many thanks.

Such creativity. You can see the fun in all Haskell's pieces.

Jackie KanovitzWed, 3 Mar 2004 3:59PM

Thanks so much. As I looked through your pictures, it raised my level of suspiciion that I have a lot more unsigned early Haskell's than I previously was aware of.

Linn AlberSat, 31 May 2003 12:15PM

Amazing.  These pieces are wonderful.  Thank you.

Jan WrightsonFri, 30 May 2003 1:12PM

Wonderful Site to See.  Thanks, Jan
