TRUE HEARTBEAT OF HASKELL

Circa 1935, this elaborate clip is from a Haskell Fall line which included necklaces and clips of varying size and complexity.   This 4 inch clip is from the top end of that design line.  Hand painted gilt metal leaves, gilt metal flowers, green glass beads and the flattened "M&M" beads, in orange and yellow, that Haskell was fond of.  The top three beads are wired to the main base of the clip.  All of the other beads, gilt florets, etc. are suspended from chains of transparent emerald green beads.   Haskell jewelry from this era is seldom found in perfect condition, and this is no exception.   Close examination reveals that the top, center gilt floret and the top, left gilt floret are missing two petals each, see a  see picture with arrows.   The clip is free of verdigris.     A necklace, clips (with brown dangle beads) and other pieces from this line are pictured in several places in Miriam Haskell Jewelry by Cathy Gordon and Shiela Pamfiloff, see page 132 for the necklace and several clips, see P 42 for the hand painted leaves.  Vintage costume jewelry, unsigned.

HASKELL MABÉ EARRING

Plain, 3/4 inch mabé style faux, simulated pearls.   The backs are clip with adjustable screws, marked Miriam Haskell.   These appear very presentable, examine the enlargement and judge for yourself.  They do, however, have some skinned areas on the edges (the largest about 1/4 inch) and a few pinpoints on their face.    Vintage costume jewelry..

STUNNING  DIMENSIONAL BLACK FLORAL BROOCH

This floral Miriam Haskell BROOCH almost forms a pom-pom.  Each gold tone petal is pierced in a double diagonal pattern and set down the center with nine, black, faceted rhinestones.   The petals curl out and down ... you simply must see this from the side and the back.   You will note that the petals extend about 1/2 inch beyond the back of the brooch, a deliberate device so that the brooch fits snugly to the fabric without falling forward.  Gold tone,  2 3/4 inches x 1 3/4 inches high ... this is a particularly  stunning piece of signed Miriam Haskell jewelry, attributed to the designer Robert Clark, circa 1960.     Vintage costume jewelry  Although almost unseen, there are some tiny wires securing some of the petals on the top side.  In some cases, only the wire around a portion of the petal is seen, and in some cases, the twisted wire ends are seen as well,   Considered a profession    repair       A gift to the fashion director at Marshall Field, from the Miriam Haskell company, upon completion of a successful campaign.   Reference Miriam Haskell Jewelry by Cathy Gordon & Sheila Pamfiloff, p. 195.

PROTOTYPE ~ ONE OF A KIND ~ PIECE OF HISTORY

THE CHICKLET NECKLACE *** SET ***

 

It's truly stunning and you'll either love it or hate it.   The bright orange, lozenge shape glass beads  look so much like Chicklets that there is no other possible name for it.   Apparently when the Haskell company needed a gift for someone, they sometimes used a prototype of jewelry that was never brought to market, and either quickly finished it or even left it partially .   Note the uncharacteristic showing of the raw metal edges not covered with beading in the center of the necklace..   These could have been used for additional loops of beads, but weren't.   In addition, you will see that the top two triangular sections have some beading around the orange and green rhinestones, while the bottom triangular section has none at all.  Close-up of center section .   The  back side shows the bottom triangular section to be finished on the edge with gold tone metal beads that are not seen from the front,  elements characteristic of "working out" a design.   The  earrings  clearly are more finished, more fully filled with bead loops and the edges have been covered with green beads on the front and gold metal beads on the sides (almost unseen from the front).  The NECKLACE is 15 inches with the front fall at almost 4 1/2 inches.   The clips, with adjustable screw backs, EARRINGS are barely short of 3 inches.  Both pieces are signed Miriam Haskell.    While perhaps lacking in "finish", these  vintage 1960s costume jewelry pieces are priceless as a piece of history and will be "perfect" in any collection.   Pristine condition.  A  gift to the fashion director at Marshall Field, from the Miriam Haskell company, upon completion of a successful campaign. Reference Miriam Haskell Jewelry by Cathy Gordon & Sheila Pamfiloff, p29. (note, the colors are truly bright orange and green).

LUSH MIRIAM HASKELL GOLDEN LEAF FESTOON  *** SET ***

Roman style, thick and lush with lots of golden movement.   Construction includes  roundels on a flexible neck wire from which short chains drop and support a cross bar from which pairs of frosty golden leaves flutter.   The NECKLACE is adjustaible to about 17 1/2 inches x 1 3/4 inches.   Matching 1 1/2 inch clip EARRINGS adjust with a screw back. Pristine condition vintage costume jewelry, signed Miriam Haskell.   A gift to the fashion director at Marshall Field upon completion of a successful campaign, from the Miriam Haskell company..   Reference Costume Jewelry the Great Pretenders, Schiffer, (circa dated 1930, though this date would seem to be  incorrect based on the earring findings), p 30.   Reference Miriam Haskell Jewelry by Cathy Gordon & Sheila Pamfiloff.
