Amourelle
JEWELRY |
Made by
Kramer in the early 1960's, AMOURELLE jewelry looks like a cousin... and
sometimes a twin... to Miriam Haskell jewelry. Wonderfully created by former
Miriam Haskell head-designer Frank Hess,
it can unfortunately be difficult to find.

According to those who worked in the jewelry industry, the practice of designers using each other's pieces as inspiration
was common, as was the "borrowing" of ideas for the use
and combinations of beads,
findings and designs. The sets shown directly above, one by Haskell and one
marked Amourelle, were designed by Frank Hess, but for
different companies at slightly different times.
