<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 831838, member: 5398&quot;]Another possibility occurred to me -- Frank Hess was Miriam Haskell&#039;s head designer until 1960 when he left and briefly worked for the KRAMER jewelry company where he created their &quot;Amourelle&quot; line (I have an Amourelle necklace, but it&#039;s a pendant).&nbsp; I decided to search Amourelle and found a 1960&#039;s Amourelle necklace with linked beads and an unsigned decorated box clasp similar to yours (photo below). The matching earrings have the Amourelle signature. I searched online for Amourelle earrings, but didn&#039;t see any that match your necklace.</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/631988660/rare-amourelle-kramer-necklace-two" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/631988660/rare-amourelle-kramer-necklace-two" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/631988660/rare-amourelle-kramer-necklace-two</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]194086[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also searched KRAMER necklaces and didn&#039;t find anything like yours, but did find a 2-strand choker on ebay that has linked speckled glass beads and faceted crystal beads, which makes me think it&#039;s even more likely that Frank Hess designed your necklace when he worked for KRAMER -- maybe even used the same source for your beads as the &quot;MIRIAM HASKELL ART GLASS DROP NECKLACE&quot; which he most likely designed when he was still at the MH company.&nbsp; Anyway, here&#039;s the Kramer necklace with linked glass and crystal beads:</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1950s-Kramer-Speckled-White-Glass-Borealis-Bead-Necklace-Fancy-Clasp/352643503847?hash=item521b30d6e7:g:I20AAOSwsupb6Yzb" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1950s-Kramer-Speckled-White-Glass-Borealis-Bead-Necklace-Fancy-Clasp/352643503847?hash=item521b30d6e7:g:I20AAOSwsupb6Yzb" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1950s-Kramer-Speckled-White-Glass-Borealis-Bead-Necklace-Fancy-Clasp/352643503847?hash=item521b30d6e7:g:I20AAOSwsupb6Yzb</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
