AMOURELLE
by
FRANK HESS
BRACELET and EARRINGS, 1963-1964, Mottled Green Glass beads with irregular pearls, rhinestones, and gilt metal findings. After Frank Hess retired from the Miriam Haskell company he joined forces with Josef Morton Glasser and formed the Morton Hess company. He left the company in 1963 and went to work for Kramer and formed a line call Amourelle. When I found this set it was a necklace that was missing a strand of beads, but I felt the motif was so gorgeous that it would make a beautiful bracelet. I sent it to Millie Petronzio, head designer for Miriam Haskell Ltd. and asked her to create a bracelet. She knotted it between each bead. The box clasp back was not the correct size and she, of course, only has Haskell parts. So, now the bracelet has a contemporay Haskell back with the Haskell oval. What a poetic journey this set has had. One of Frank's last works returned to his beloved Haskell company.  Bracelet measures 7-1/4". Earrings 2" x 1-1/2". Bracelet marked Miriam Haskell and the earrings are marked Amourelle. #2199
