Renowned author of vintage jewelry, Harris Simons Miller is a dealer, art historian, appraiser, lector, consultant, and a passionate lover of jewelry. Noteworthy, she was an expert for the 2011 Elizabeth Taylor jewelry collection for Christie. Besides, she is the author of five reference books on costume jewelry including the book about Kenneth Jay Lane.
Her latest book is “Fashion Jewelry: The Collection of Barbara Berger”, whose exhibition she curated from 2013-14 at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.
In the 1990s, Manhattan-based jewellery historian Miller re-released a limited edition of a collection of collectible rarities from the 1940s. A designer of her own high-quality jewelry pieces, she labeled them with her initials “HM” or “HSM” and the year of manufacture (mostly 1992).
