Carnegie costume jewelry was made from the 1940’s to the 1970’s. She often used specific themes in her jewelry lines, an example being her Oriental group, her beaded flowers and her poured glass pieces. Some ofher major designers were Norman Norell, Pauline Trigere, Peggy Moonan, Nandine Effront. Elegant and innovative, her jewelry remains both wearable and collectible today. Jewelry under this name was produced for several more years after her death in 1956. Hattie Carnegie jewelry was made from about 1939-1979.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><b>Her earlier jewelry was marked with the &quot;HC&quot; mark, and it’s some of my favorite. </b>It tends to be heavier and larger than her later pieces, and her fur clips are well balanced and easy to wear. She used wonderful elements like glass cabochons, pressed glass leaves and overlapping elements.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
