Did Miriam Haskell use real gold?

1 Answer
Did Miriam Haskell use real gold?
Yes, Miriam Haskell used real gold. However, the American jeweler typically didn't make solid gold jewelry. Often, she worked with an exclusive type of gold plating called Russian gold. The material consists of a base metal dipped in a finish that contains 24-karat gold, copper and other ingredients. Some gold-tone pieces made by Haskell feature brass construction rather than Russian gold. Find a selection of Miriam Haskell jewelry on 1stDibs.
