Fabulous Fakes showcases some of the most brilliant and beautiful vintage costume jewelry ever designed – from the Victorian era to the present. Curator and connoisseur Carole Tanenbaum invites you on an unforgettable tour of her private collection, complete with stunning photographs and an insider’s look at the history of costume jewelry.
I am constantly asked who my favorite vintage designers are. I love different designers for different reasons. I must say that I cannot refuse an unusual Henry Schreiner, any Coppolo e Toppo's, and Hobe's early filigree jewels. I would love to hear who your favorite designers are and why.
My favourite is Miriam Haskell. After I spent a lot of time inventing and trying, I managed to make up a way to use rhinestones without soldering. So I can connect all components with wire. And just when I was thrilled I got it, I discovered Miriam Haskell... whos jewelry is made the same way. I guess it's a story of my life that after I think I made up some idea by myself, I always find it elswhere. I don't know why I can't find it before I start inventing.
But I love the Haskell style, the romantic and tiny details, rhinestones mixed with baroque pearls and seedbeads... and the fact that I know how difficult it is to assemble.
