Miriam Haskell - Why I love her jewelry

So much has been written about Miriam Haskell Jewelry.  The design, the luxe attitude, the ingenious construction.  That's all true.  I think I love Miriam Haskell's work because she took the idea of branding and made private brand at her shop and grew it into a national brand.  And one other reason, she went to my alma mater, the University of Chicago.
Right now, I've got a few Miriam Haskell necklaces on ebay:

Chunky Green Swirled Bead Haskell Necklace

And there is a baroque pearl and rhinestone opera length long necklace on eBay here:

And lastly a long white milk glass necklace with Italian type white glass beads:

 The white milk glass necklace is available here.
