  Some of the best and most collectible Miriam Haskell jewelry was made in the first decades when Frank Hess was her head designer. Frank Hess was the head designer from about 1926 to 1960 and his talent is unrivaled. 
 In the early days of Miriam Haskell jewelry Haskell put no identifying marks on their jewelry. As a mater of fact, it was not signed at all until about 1947. Today the early unsigned pieces are recognized from the vintage art work and advertisements and by their wonderful design, hand work and detail. This group is circa 1940. Pieces of this set can be seen in "Miriam Haskell Jewelry" by Gordon & Pamfiloff, pages 161.
