Larry or Lawrence Vrba, a former top jewellery designer for Miriam Haskell in the 1960s and 1970s, is now producing costume jewellery under his own name. All his jewellery is hand-made using prong set stones with gold-tone or pewter metal bases. The designs along with the workmanship of the jewellery pieces now produced under the Vrba name are outstanding and said to be wonderful works of art.
