Judith Miller on Martha Stewart

Antique's expert, Judith Miller appeared today on The Martha Stewart show. She had a wonderful display of jewelry that ranged from Trifari, Coro, Joseph, Miriam Haskell and Stanley Hagler.

One statement made by Judith might lead to a misunderstanding about the history of Stanley Hagler. She said that Stanley Hagler worked for Miriam Haskell...Which although correct, only tells part of the story. Unfortunately she didn't qualify the type of employment he had with the company. He did work for Miriam Haskell, but he never designed for the company.

According to "Miriam Haskell Jewelry" by Cathy Gordon and Sheila Pamiloff, "Mr. Hagler work for Haskell for six months, but never as a designer. According to Stanley's brother, Ernest, he was hired during Frank Hess's tenture and filled several minor positions, but never as an assistant designer."

For more information on the history of Miriam Haskell, please purchase Cathy's and Sheila's book. It is one of the most informative books on the market that will dispel a lot of misinformation about the jewelry manufactured by The Miriam Haskell Co and leave the reader with a valuable depth of knowledge.
