Amourelle
JEWELRY
Made by the Kramer Company in the early 1960’s, AMOURELLE jewelry looks like a cousin,
and sometimes a twin, to Miriam Haskell jewelry. That is because it was
beautifully designed by the former Miriam Haskell head designer, Frank Hess.
Because much less of it was made than there was of Miriam Haskell, it is often difficult to find, but
it is certainly worth the search.

AMOURELLE
by Frank Hess very rare convertible necklace/brooch and
earrings set with glass pearls, clear rhinestones and gold tone chains, a
marvelous set of costume jewelry. It includes three pieces: a necklace 15-1/2"
long,
a brooch 2" across with a 5/8" loop that can attach it to the necklace, and 1" clip
back earrings. This set can be worn as a separate necklace and brooch, or as
a larger necklace by attaching the brooch to the bottom of the necklace with
the decorated loop included ( see the photos). The pendant/brooch and
earrings are beautifully layered with two different styles of leaves, a real
Frank Hess masterpiece in every way. This set is signed "Amourelle" on a
heart shaped plaque and it was made in about 1960, after his
time as Miriam Haskell’s head designer. His jewelry is always a treat, and
there was only a small amount of Amourelle ever produced. This set is in
excellent condition in every way, absolutely glorious with shimmering gold
tone and brilliant rhinestones.

AMOURELLE brooch of honey-colored
glass cabochon and rhinestones set in gold tone petals on a filigree back, circa 1960, 1-7/8". Designed
by Frank Hess, the former head designer for Miriam Haskell, this has the
artistic sensibility and matte gold tone finish like his Haskell
jewelry. Made by Kramer in the early 1960’s, Amourelle jewelry looks like a
cousin… and sometimes a twin… to Miriam Haskell jewelry and that is
because it was designed by Frank Hess for both makers. It is signed on
the back "Amourelle" on an applied heart shaped metal tag. View

According to those who worked in the jewelry industry, the practice of designers using each other’s pieces as inspiration
was common with some companies, 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 and at slightly different times.
