Miriam Haskell began making jewelry in 1924. Her handmade jewelry designs were available only in limited quantities and were originally expensive to purchase. According to Julia C Carroll in Costume Jewelry 101, Haskell employed many noted designers over the years including Frank Hess, Robert Clark, Peter Raines, LarrPy Vrba, and Camille Petronzio. Each designer brought their own artistic vision to Haskell jewelry. Designs by Frank Hess, who designed from 1926 to 1960, are the most coveted by collectors.
