Miracle
A
Hill and Company (Birmingham) Ltd in England,
began producing Miracle Jewelry in 1946
and they continue to do so today. They specialize
in intricate antique-inspired Celtic, Irish
and Scottish styles, plus many different English
historical styles from Anglo-Saxon through Viking
to Medieval and Baroque. Their use of colorful
stones (often imitating semiprecious gemstones)
against antiqued pewter and gold creates a striking
contrast and allows the gems to be the center
of attention. Another notable fact about Miracle
jewelry is that many of the pieces are as detailed
on the back as they are on the front as you
can see from the pictures on this page. This
intricate metal work does not go unnoticed or
unappreciated by collectors of this line today.
