Fantastic Biography & History of Carnegie & Her Jewely
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
This book is one of the first to provide a biographical account of Hattie Carnegie's life, detailing her transformation from a Macy's messenger girl into one of the most influential designers of her time. It is filled with gorgeous color photos of her jewelry and even includes a nice selection of vintage Carnegie advertising. The jewelry descriptions are well written and informative, with accurate price guides, and are arranged in a manner which makes them easy to use for reference. Many of the jewelry pieces photographed, as well as much of the biographical information, comes from Hattie's relatives and friends who were able to provide great context for the designs. I should also mention that there is a wonderful page of Carnegie signatures to help seller's and collector's date and authenticate their pieces.
