Devoted to the story of Miriam Haskell, one of America's most distinguished fashion jewellers, this text includes over 200 examples such as bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings and parures from significant European and American collections which illustrate the styles of the small number of designers who were associated with the House. This is a work which should be of reference for collectors of period jewellery, for fashion designers and for everyone who is interested in the decorative arts.
