Hello Cathy!  Really appreciate the fabulous job you've done with this site, and thank you for maintaining such a great resource!  Wonderful folks on ebay's JGB thought that a wooden bead necklace I posted might just be Haskell.  Thread name is "Wood Bead Necklace...I know I've seen this before" if there is a possibility you might take a look and give a "yay" or "nay", that would be super!

Hi: I just purchased a very unusual brooch with coral,crystals and pearls made in the style of Miriam Haskell. I need to know if it is indeed an unsigned Haskell/Hess piece. I can provide a picture if needed. Thank you.

I am searching to replace a necklace of my Mothre's that was lost in a move. It was a glass fruit necklace that was my Grandmothers so it was old. Been told that a designer by the name of Miriam Haskell was the designer. but there were also two other designers @ her era. Nevertheless I am searching to replace with as close as possible, but need help locating. Please let me know if you have anything even similar. Thank You, Danny Thomason

Always absolutely amazed at the intricate and wonderful Miriam Haskell designs.  Loved the story about her visit to Arizona and the couple that invited her in.

Ihave a Miriam Haskell necklace that I would like to appraise and sell..found it in an antique clothing store twenty years ago

Hi, would very much like to learn more about Miriam Haskells early jewelry, I have a extremly large brooch and matching earrings, I have recently aquired and would like to know if they are indeed Miriam Haskell
kind regards

Aside from the helpful insight I simply enjoyed just looking at your pieces...your collection is astounding!!!!

LOve this site...I have so many parts & pieces that are most likely Haskell...just from looking. Thank you Cathy for this awesome site!!

I come here often to see your collections and learn.  Thanks so much for sharing!  Someone suggested you'd look and give an opinion about my necklace.  I've kept an eagle eye out for years to learn who/when/what and haven't been successful. Thanks  http://forums.ebay.com/db1/topic/Jewelry-Gemstones/Bead-38-Metal/510088874

Fabulous pictures of unsigned Haskell pieces! This gives a wonderful insight to these beauties.  Thanks so much for sharing these photos and comments!

Cathy, I was wondering if you had time if you could look at my post on the jools board. Trying to get an id on this necklace, and I know you are our best pro in this area. http://forums.ebay.com/db1/topic/Jewelry-Gemstones/Could-This-Be/510087692.

Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts

Appreciate any input or information you could give me. Regards,

I recently bought a signed Miriam Haskell on Ebay.  I have a feeling this is not a Haskell.  Please help.

Hi, Cathy!
Thanks SO MUCH for your wonderfully helpful jewelry pages & book! You're providing such valuable resources for us all!
A quick question...I've posted on the eBay Jewelry Board a demi-parure (bracelet & brooch) that I believe is an old, unsigned Haskell set. Everyone says I should get your opinion on it, so I'm writing to you to ask you to please take a look and tell us what you think. Here's the link: http://forums.ebay.com/thread.jspa?forumID=32&threadID=510087061  
If the link doesn't work, just look up "Weird & Wonderful Demi...Early Haskell?? TIA, Everyone!"
We're all looking forward to seeing what you have to say! Thank you, Cathy!

i have always had a passion for miriam haskell's jewellry ihave never seen such a wonderful collection all in one place it nearly had me salivating!!what is the most expensive piece you have ever bought and what is the starting prices now?

Do you sell haskell  How can I find out prices and what is avALIBLE

Hi Cathy, First let me say that I have enjoyed your albums very much, and have spent some very pleasurable time this Winter looking through them!
I have a brooch or pin that I would ask you to look at, and give your opinion as to whether or not it may be an unmarked Haskell. I have posted a picture on the ebay jewelry discussion board. The title of the thread is "Funny Pierced Back Glass Rod Brooch" I will be happy to send you the link, picture, or any other info you want. Thank you!

re your unsigned haskell pieces - #157 i have two large arrow dress clips with the turquoise ball beads which haskell seemed to love so much. they are a pewtery colour - never were gilt - and have an arrangement similar to the earrings rather that the larger bobbles

Have several signed pieces by Miriam Haskell. Maybe some unsigned. Need to vaule signed pieces, and find out if the ones unsigned are hers. Thank You for your time!

Great M. Haskell items and website.  I think I came across an unsigned piece and while finding similar haskell designs, just not this exact piece.  I am getting closer..  LOL
Thank you - Angel

Hello Cathy;
Thank you for a wonderful photo and informational album.
Helped to identify a bracelet or two that I have and raised questions on some other pieces.  Thank you again.
Pat

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to send a photo of an unsigned necklace to Cathy Gordon or to another Miriam Haskell expert to determine if it is in fact, one of Haskell's pieces.  Thank you for your time!
Keith

I have a lovely necklace that may be a Haskell can I email a photo to you ? I am interested in selling it and it would be nice to know for sure if it is a Haskell.  I have owned your book for 3 yrs now and I keep it on my end table as I constantly enjoy the lovely jewelry of Ms Haskell.

Hi Cathy! I'm another Cathy ... from the Jewelry Board on eBay. If you have a minute, I'd love to have your opinion on a pair of earrings I have posted a question about. The thread is called "Do these look like Haskell to you?" Thanks for your time, and for this wonderful resource.

Dear Cathy, thank you for the beautiful photo's, which are much better than the Miriam Haskell book. I was just thinking of selling the few pieces I have as I rarely wear them now, when I came across this site... not any more! if anything, I'd love to try and find something like the turquois sets you show. Thank you so much.

Dear Cathy

I have been a collector of Miriam Haskell's jewelry since the 1990s and have one of the faux-pearl & rhinestone pieces featured in Deanna Farneti Cera's book among others. I am looking for a Haskell aficionado who might be interested to acquire my entire collection (I'm not interested in selling them on ebay on a piecemeal basis) and should be grateful if you would let me whether you would be interested in viewing photos of my collection.   

Kind regards

Cathy - This is an incredible website for us who are interested in Miriam Haskell jewelry. Thank you for sharing with us. I would appreciate a little more information. I see that people have asked questions and I assume you, as a collector and expert, take the time to answer them as best you can. Can any of us "pick your brain?" Is this open to the public so to speak? Thank you. Melanie Kutilek

Hi Cathy.  I have a question posted on the eBay JB that I am in hopes that you can answer.  I have a brooch I believe is Miriam Haskell, but it has a trombone clasp, which I have never seen on a Haskell piece before.  

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a look and tell me what you think.  Here is a link to the question.

I have what I think is an unsigned Haskell (I live in San Diego, CA).  My mom gave it to me from a garage sale find.

Hi
You have a beautiful collection.
I have what I believe to be an unsigned MH beaded bracelet.  I live  in LA and I was wondering if you knew anyone who might be able to authenticate it.
Thank you.

I have a signed Mirium Haskell long plastic or celluloid chain in tortoise shell color. The links are large and it has a spring closure with MK tag. Every other link has the name Mirium Haskell. Can you tell me more about it? Thank you MJK

hello! i stumbled across this site hoping to find anyone who could tell me about the necklace i have. I found it in a thrift store. It's gold fortune cookie with a fortune tag attached to it,inscribed'if everything seems to be coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane." It says Haskell on the fortune tag. It quite cute, and i wondered if there was any sort of story behind it.

thank you!

Hello,
I have a necklace that is signed MARIAM HASKELL on one side of the clasp and has PATENT and a number on the other side, it also has a signed MARIAM HASKELL metal hang tag on the clasp. Can you tell me where I can find info on it?
Thanks for any info.
Glenn

Wonderfull and helpfull.
I'm from the Netherlands and I'm a collector of Miriam Haskell.
Do you have more information and where can I find it?
Kind regards,

Am looking to purchase a 2 pieces of jewelry that the owner claims are unsigned Miriam Haskells......trying to determine if indeed they are,

This is the most exciting collection of any kind of jewelry I've ever seen.  Just so much fun.  I have 5 or 6 necklaces that I would like to sell.  Can you advise me.  Thank You for your consideration and time.

Linda Levitt

I have discovered what I believe is an early unsigned Miriam Haskell.  After viewing all of your wonderful information, I wondered if you are able to verify this outstanding necklace.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!

Cathy,
When you get a free minute, would you mind checking out a demi I picked up today? Not sure if it's a Haskell or a wannabe!
Thanks so much,Tammy

THANK YOU! I have been trying to find more information on a piece of jewelry to write a listing for eBay.  I had almost given up, and I posted it earlier today with skeletal (Halloween pun, sorry) details.  Moments later I came across your site and found unmistakable similarities between one of the items shown and the piece I listed.  The "gilt lily leaf" among other things!  I am so excited because the piece I listed is so beautiful, it clearly deserves attribution!  So, there you have it, Miriam Haskell, now it makes sense.  I have a feeling I'll regret selling it one day...  Anyway, thanks for all sharing your knowledge :-)

I JUST DISCOVERED MIRIAM HASKELL RECENTLY...  LOVE HER JEWELS... LOVE YOU, TOO, FOR THIS SITE!!!  THANK YOU ~~~~

where is the book?

Cathy, I have posted a necklace on the jewelry board that I think might be an unsigned Haskell. I would appreciate it greatly if you could take a look when you have time and see what you think.  

Anastasia

Good Morning Cathy!
I have a pin that I'm told might be a Haskell.I have pics in the Jewelry & Gemstones discussion board on Ebay.The title is: Does this wired pin look like any specific maker?
Thanks so much!

Hi Cathy, I have 3 unsigned pieces on the ebay jewelry and gemstones discussion board. One is what I believe is a Spezzati Coral wrap bracelet. Also a lariet necklace and another necklace. I would be very appreciative if you would take a look and offer your opinion. The title is "3 Haskell pieces, opinions please". Thanks so much, Kathleen

Hi Cathy,
  I have a piece I am almost positive is Miriam Haskill, but am looking for confirmation of that.  It is an unsigned piece, and I have it on the eBay discussion board, post title: Miriam Haskill ??.  Any input from you would be fabulous.  Thanks so much! Tammy

Amazingly stunning collection!!!  WOW!  

I came upon your website when researching the Miriam Haskell necklace my mom has had for over 40 years or so.  She even has a hard cardboard painting(??) of a woman in a brown 30's or 40's(??) type woman's suit, hairdo, and hat with netting in the front with the actual necklace painted around her neck and matching bracelet (mom believes she has the bracelet too, but she's not sure what she did with it at this juncture)painted around her wrist.  On the cardboard painting(??) there is an aluminum foil(??) type sticker with black letters that say "Miriam Haskell."

I believe the Miriam Haskell necklace we have must be an unsigned piece from the 40's(??), due to the cardboard painting that came with it and the design, but I know nothing about Miriam Haskell and her magnificent pieces and mom knows only that it was sold to her over 40 or so years ago as a genuine Miriam Haskell.

I must admit that we are both very curious about any information we can obtain about the Miriam Haskell necklace we have in our possession.  We would deeply appreciate your great expertise.  Can I send you photos?  

The necklace is an exquisite piece and has the same chain and turquoise type balls and chain curled hangers as your #66 unsigned Miriam Haskell necklace on your website, but the necklace itself is quite different due to having a great deal more turquoise on it.

We would be grateful for your assistance!

Warm regards,

Lesley

Dear Cathy-Thank you for your quick reply on the baroque necklace. The pearls are all baroque, it is a heavy necklace, but I am not sure if it is plastic or glass? I am new to jewelry and I did the tooth test, but now everything sounds the same to me!

I really enjoyed this site. I was recently given a box of jewelry that belonged to a 81 year olds mother. It had been stored in their garage for 21 years. Several pieces are so beautifull that i feel they must be Haskell but they are unsigned and i havent been able to find a appraiser in the area.

Thank you for a fasinating look at the beautiful Miriam Haskell creations. I never had the opportunity to see one in person. The site is the next best thing to being there.

This is fascinating and beautiful!  thank you!

As a lover and collector of vintage jewelry, I have only recently become aware of the fabulousness that is Haskell. When I am introduced to something that interests me, naturally I want to know more about that something. Your tour was a brilliant starting point in my endeavor to learn about all things Haskell! Thank you for sharing! Now I'm off to the next tour!

They are timeless, evergreen and fantastic collection from Haskell! Thanks for sharing. Artist like her is not exist nowadays!!!!

I have some unsigned pieces that I would like to know if they are Miriam Haskell.

How can I find out if a set I have is actually an unsigned Haskell? Also can you recommend someone who can restore these pieces?

Simply beautiful!

Hi Cathy, This is a breath-taking collection of jewelry! Just when I didn't think any piece could be more beautiful than the one I was looking at.......I looked at the next and the next....what a treat. Thank you. Smiles, C*ndy

What a thrill it is to see all these pieces.  Please send me newsletters.

WOW!You have an awsome collection! What a pleasure to see these beautiful pieces! She was the best wasn't she!! I have a friend that called me and asked me if I ever heard of her. She has a piece from her mother. Now I can't wait to see it! I believe I have a piece and I know I had one of those elaborate necklaces with many strands of clear rod type beads and a huge flower made from the same beads with a pink rinstone in the middle. I think I gave it to my sister to make me a watch out of some of the beads because several strands were broken. She never did. I'm going to call her tomorow and tell her to find it and give it back. You would love it! Thanks for giving me your website! I will be out there looking and I will email you if I find a piece. I will pass on your web site to my friends because you have the most beautiful pieces!! you are so lucky! You must be very proud of this collection! I know I would be!!!

Great sleuthing! Thank you for sharing

fabulous pieces!

gave my daughter your book for a gift as she's collecting and I am also learning about lM.H.

A total work of art!

Simply lovely! From a designers point of view, her pieces were incredible for the time. Outstanding craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing. *Big Smile*

Thanks so much for sharing your labours of love. I only recently discover Miriam Haskell, having been obliquely led to her work after seeing a vintage piece on "Antiques Roadshow". Arriving at your site
felt like arriving to the portals of heaven. I'm a fledgeling aspiring jewellery designer and the BACKS of the pieces and the construction info has been just as exciting to see as the fronts... maybe more so.  THANKS so much!

Just amazing.  Thank you for the slide show.

Wow I just found an unsigned wood beads shell bracelet on your site exactly like one I have.  I had no idea it was Haskell! Thank you.  It is missing some beads..where can I can repaired?

What wonderfully creative pieces of art!

Wow!wow! so beautiful & elegant!!!!

Wow!  Never saw so many beautiful pieces in one location!

Thank You for having this GREAT site.

Wow! beautiful

FANTASTIC SITE!  THANK YOU!!!!!!!

you have been my hero!

Wonderful. Thanks so much for this.

Thank you so much for this information.  WONDERFUL

Thx so much for the wonderful compendium of Miriam Haskell jewelry!  I found the identical bracelet and dress clip that I own. Additionally I was able to match another dress clip to one of your bracelets. Without your superb reference I would only be guessing, as all of them were unmarked.  Thx again!!!

What a great site!  I just came into possession of my 91 year old aunt's costume jewellery.  What a surprise.  Do you know who in Canada could give me an idea of the price of the pieces?  Many thanks

Who can I trust to repair MH jewelry?

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, what can one say when feasting their eyes on such fabulous pieces by Miriam Haskell. While I would never consider copying her work I am interested in how she makes the silk thread over the spring wire in her wrap bracelets.  Can you tell me more about that technique.  Thanks so much for providing this breathtaking view of the most wonderfully made jewelry of all time in my opinion. You are truly blessed to own such pieces. Thank you for the privilege.

I LOVE this site and of course I preordered the new book! It has been a fabulous guide. I have the matching brooch to picture #6. If anyone is interested you may email me.

WOW!

Thanks a *trillion* for this site!! What fabulous documentation, what unparalleled inspiration! What a huge treat to find this site!!

I have a Mariam Haskell pearl necklace and would like to know more about it!

This is an excellant site with the unsigned pieces.  I'm a big fan of Haskell and was unaware of this site until an e-bay auction seller provided the site address.  Great job with pulling this information together!

I am always in AWE to read anything & everything about Miriam's jewelry~ I absolutely love her creative designs & workmanship~I'm a "forever" fan! Thanks for sharing your experience as we all learn from each other as we go~

Haskell lover!!!

I'm about to list a signed Haskell bracelet and necklace set on Ebay.  My problem is, it has huge orange colored stones, and I don't know what they are?  In addition, it has a bird on the clasp.  If anyone has any idea what these stones are, please let me know. Thanks! P.S. I also have a very elaborate Haskell pearl necklace listed in my Rubylane shop.

Thanks for all the work!!  You have opened a whole new world in jewels for me.  I'm in love with Haskell!!

Thanks!  This is better than looking through the book!!  So yummy!!

Thank you for giving us this great site.  I just love your pictures.

fabulous, wonderful, great, best ever, helped me tremendously  THANK YOU SO MUCH

Wonderful.  Thank you so much for sharing your collection....and what a fabulous collection it is!

I really enjoyed looking at your collection.  I have a watch braclet with mini fake perals,jade pieces,purple and pink stones and real opals that look like her style. Do you know if she made any pieces like this?

This is a fabulous collection. I believe that I have one of her unsigned pieces. I would very much like to e-mail you a picture for your review, please e-mail me. Thank you.

This is the most wonderful collection I have ever seen!!  Thank you so much for sharing it. I, too, would love to meet you and see the collection.  Are you ever in New York City?

Thank you so much for sharing.
These are what dreams are made of.

My wife (Lili) and I are long-time amateur Haksell collectors --- buys at shows and on internet (abielena).  Your stuff is beautiful ... if you are ever in Seattle we would enjoy meeting you.  Ron Friedman

Thank you so much, Cathy!!!! I've just spent hours looking at your fantastic gallery of unsigned Haskell and feel like I got a major education in jewelry collecting.  I'm sure I'll come back again and again to this site!!!  Once again, thank you so much!!!
