Miriam Haskell, born 1899, began designing jewelry about 1924.
In 1926 she opened her own shop, 'Le Bijou de l'Heure' in New York City.
The first signature stamp appeared on her jewelry about
1948, in the shape of a horseshoe rainbow.
In the 1950's the oval stamp was designed.
To the trained eye, her designs are easily recognized
and widely sought after.
Her
jewelry is classic and timeless. Ms. Haskell was known for using all kinds of medium, combining unlikely elements.
