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.

Signed: Miracle in several variations. See Researching Costume Jewelry at Illusion Jewels for a complete list.
