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.

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).
