About the Item

Gorgeous and rare gilded rhinestone pavé chunky clamper bangle bracelet by iconic jewelry brand, Hattie Carnegie. In 1918, Hattie Carnegie Inc. was founded, starting with a full-scale clothing line. In 1939, Hattie Carnegie began producing jewelry to complement her clothing. Like Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, Carnegie flourished in the “cocktail jewelry” movement, specializing in brooches and matching sets of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Her jewelry designs were meant to give a touch of flair to otherwise conservative outfits. Hattie's designs are noted for their attention to detail and creativity. Carnegie jewels were adored by Hollywood stars and other American celebrities including Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Fontaine, Norma Shearer, and Joan Crawford. Carnegie seemed to have a sixth sense about the taste of American women, flying to Paris on a regular basis and then returning home to adapt the latest looks to U.S. sensibilities. DETAILS: - 3.5" x 3" - One size fits most wrists - Gold plated - Signed "Hattie Carnegie" - Opens on a hinge CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition, minimally worn by previous owner. This item has been cleaned and polished and is ready to be used immediately. PROVENANCE: From the estate of a Manhattan socialite, whose highly curated collection of vintage costume and designer jewelry was accumulated over several decades of opulent adventures. During her heyday in the 1970s and 1980s, she carefully acquired unique statement pieces from coveted high-end designer labels like Chanel, Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, YSL, Christian Lacroix, Dior and more. Her eye for quality and penchant for oversized bijoux make this collection truly unique. Every item from this elite collection is a piece of design history and an investment quality work of wearable art. True lovers of the finest vintage costume and runway jewelry will appreciate the minimally worn and immaculately kept pieces that have been treasured by a NYC tastemaker for decades.
