AMOURELLE red rhinestones brooch in japanned setting, circa 1965, 2-3/4".     View   #X26795

 AMOURELLE brooch of topaz-colored glass cabochon and rhinestones set in gold tone petals on a filigree back, circa 1960, 1-7/8". Designed by Frank Hess, the former head designer for Miriam Haskell, this has the artistic sensibility and matte gold tone finish like his Haskell jewelry. Made by Kramer in the early 1960's, Amourelle jewelry looks like a cousin... and sometimes a twin... to Miriam Haskell jewelry.   View   #X33239

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.
