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, demonstrate this. In this case, Frank Hess designed both, but for
different companies.

FLORENZA
portrait brooch/frame. It is interesting that this is so similar to the
Rosenstein portrait brooch shown above, and that the portrait is the same
as the Haskell/Vrba brooch at the right.

HASKELL/VRBA this fabulous portrait pin was made for a Broadway play
by Larry Vrba when he was the designer for Miriam Haskell Jewelry. There was more regal-looking jewelry made for the same
play, and I dream of finding other pieces.
