Hats Off To Hattie Carnegie!

Hattie Carnegie's life reads like a modern-day Cinderella story. After all, she went from a poor girl working at Macy's to a woman who created and ran a $10-million empire of ready-to-wear clothing, hats, perfume and costume jewelry. And her costume jewelry has become quite a collecting favorite! For the budding collector, a good resource is Hattie Carnegie Jewelry: Her Life And Legacy, which has almost 500 photos of her amazing earrings, necklaces, pins and bracelets. Her jewelry signature is one of several marks: "Hattie Carnegie," "Carnegie" or sometimes simply "HC" and it is widely available on eBay and other online vintage websites. Now just click the slideshow for a selection of outstanding vintage Hattie Carnegie pieces to start your collection.
