Miriam Haskell founded her company as early as 1926. The jewelry was handmade in small series and was therefore exclusive and expensive from day one. Miriam Haskell was a successful manager. For the creation of the collections, she employed the most creative designers of her time. After this collaboration, each of them had a great career ahead. In 1952, Miriam Haskell became seriously ill and therefore sold her company to her brother. The company was sold several more times, and Haskell jewelry is still produced today and sold in luxury department stores. Often copied and never matched, her jewelry made of baroque pearls, wire-bound seed pearls, and burnished brass now fetches top prices in vintage jewelry.
