This beautiful and EXTREMELY RARE Amourelle necklace and earrings set was created by Frank Hess, of Miriam Haskell fame, during his collaboration with Kramer of New York. This particular set is in such pristine condition that it is a rare find indeed. Amourelle jewelry never appears like "production" jewelry but much more artisan like- as though each piece were the only piece. Amourelle captures your heart and soul. There is no wear to the set at all, nor oxidation. There are very few Amourelle pieces to be found, as the partnership only lasted a few years in the early 1960's. The resemblance to the designs he did for Haskell is marked, and certainly can be seen in this set. As was the case while he was with Haskell, Hess's designs for Amourelle often included a lot of hand wiring, use of art glass and Russian gold gilt and metal filigree.
