Hattie Carnegie’s life reads like a modern-day Cinderella story. After all, she went from a poor girl working at Macy’s to a woman who created and ran a $10-million empire of ready-to-wear clothing, hats, perfume and costume jewelry.
And her costume jewelry has become quite a collecting favorite. For the budding collector, a good resource is Hattie Carnegie Jewelry: Her Life And Legacy, which has almost 500 photos of her amazing earrings, necklaces, pins and bracelets.
Today’s VPOD features a very rare and unusual Hattie Carnegie find. It’s a modernist necklace made of silver chromium with a wavy, undulating design.
And it’s a true statement piece for a vintage fashionista!
