Synopsis
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.

- o***o (144)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseI received my order in excellent condition about fifteen minutes after I ordered it. That’s a slight exaggeration, but I am very impressed with the seller and will keep an eye on the inventory. I’ll probably find more books that will help me, as a beginner reseller, as well as teach me more about my own collection. After paging through it I’ve already seen a piece from my Grandmother’s jewelry.
