Hattie Carnegies life story surpasses that of Cinderella in that it
is true. Born in 1886, she went from being a destitute Macys
messenger girl who owned three blouses and one skirt to
controlling, at its high point, a ten-million-dollar empire. Her
five companies included custom and ready-to-wear clothing, hats,
perfume, and fabulous costume jewelry. For decades, her personal
taste and fashion sense influenced the styles worn by countless
American women. Today, Hattie Carnegies jewelry is what has lasted,
and this groundbreaking book showcases the full range of designs --
from glamorous rhinestone bracelets to exotic Oriental pins. Over
480 stunning color photos illustrate earrings, necklaces, sets,
pins, and bracelets produced from the 1920s to the 1970s.
Historical background, jewelry marks and signatures, current
values, and collector tips are all included. Many have heard the
name Hattie Carnegie, but until now her story has remained a silent
secret. With this engaging book, collectors can finally enjoy a
look at Hattie Carnegies fascinating life as well as the beautiful
jewelry that serves as her legacy.
