Hattie Carnegie was an amazing lady of her time In 1939, the company started marketing high-quality costume jewelry to accessorize their clothing. By the time of Carnegie’s death in 1956, she had brought a unique American interpretation of French couture to the fashion scene. The production of clothing and jewelry under her name continued until 1976.
Instead of copying fine jewelry, a common practice at the time, Carnegie’s designs were innovative and distinctive. Under her direction, some pieces were designed in-house, while others were designed, produced and stamped with the Carnegie logo by various manufacturers whose work was commissioned. Designers included Kenneth Jay Lane, Norman Norell, Peggy Moonan, Pauline Trigère and Claire McCardell, some of whom also designed for other companies. Themes included flowers, leaves and fruits; Oriental figures; and stylized animals. Materials included poured glass, faux pearls, glass beads, rhinestones used as accents, and enameled and gold-plated finishes.
Carnegie’s bold and distinctive jewelry was often in sharp contrast to her chic but conventional clothing and her favorite: the little black dress. Her jewelry was worn by Hollywood elite such as Joan Fontaine, Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford. Carnegie may be best known for her tremblers – flowers or butterflies on springs that trembled or vibrated as the wearer moved. Other popular work includes Egyptian Revival and stylized animal pieces.
