 If you're in town then come and visit us at: The Antique Connection Mall 12815 Central NE Albuquerque New Mexico, 87123 USA See More | Amourelle JEWELRY | Made by Kramer in the 1960’s, AMOURELLE jewelry looks like a cousin… and sometimes a twin… to Miriam Haskell jewelry. That is because it was designed for Kramer by former Haskell head designed Frank Hess. Wonderfully designed, delicately worked, and easy to wear, it can unfortunately be very 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. |
