HASKELESQUE IN STYLE ~ MYSTERY NECKLACE Sensuously beautiful  the mystery is what it was originally.   The  links have hand wired rhinestones encompassing golden leaves.  In the style of Haskell, a double layer of the entire stamped link backs the top, covering the work and giving depth to the design and the leaves.  The current design of the work is very fetching but I feel certain that at one time it was a much more complicated necklace, perhaps with chain festoons or something else.   When seen from the back  there are jump rings where something was attached above the links. About 32 inches long (a very odd length for such a necklace), the chain is not original and can (and should be) shortened to about 16-20 inches.   Vintage costume jewelry in excellent condition.

GORGEOUS HASKELESQUE STYLE EARRINGS by VENDOME Totally marvelous, the outer layer of petals is made up of unusual lavender & blue (alexandrite) beads, in a flat petal shape with rounded bottom which if faceted.   Each of the beads is hand wired and you can see the head pin that secures them in the picture of the back.  Five more of the petals are in the next row, separated by closely hand wired tapestry style, tiny faux, simulated  pearls and the center is a large alexandrite rhinestone.    Very much in the style of Haskell, these are clips adjustable with a screw, silver tone,  1 1/4 inch.    Probably circa 1950s, vintage costume jewelry in like new excellent condition..

HASKELL ~ LAUREL LEAF TIARA BRACELET This bracelet is an unsigned Haskell wrap BRACELET.   Probably circa 1930s.   The steel beads, which were popular in purses of that era, are hand stitchred to a base of three covered "cords".   The cords look like cable that might have come into use for electrification or perhaps part of the transatlantic cable makeup.     The inner core of the cable is unknown since the ends are capped.   The outer is a tight weave of metal threads.   The center of the bracelet is stamped of  base metal and has an antiqued gold tone finish on the front and silvery finish on the back.   Loops of beads are fastened to the center, and a double row of beads flanks the center on each side.   One side has an additional short section of beads, the other side does not.   A minor amount of verdigris can be seen on the stamped metal.    Fits an average wrist,  1 1/4 inch at the widest.    The beads on the bracelet base appear to be wired into place.   The loops of beads are on black thread.   A collector's piece, confirmed as Haskell by the author of the book Miriam Haskell Jewelry .

SOLD! MIRIAM HASKELL PROTOTYPE HOOP  EARRINGS Perhaps one of a kind, these may have been prototypes that were never brought to market.   Eight loops of fabulous beads including large faux, simulated pearl, crystal bi-cone beads, tiny faux pearls, silvery faceted metal seed beads, and rhinestone set rondels, all  hand wired to a  flat filigree base that has been completely covered, tapestry style,  with wired rhinestones and tiny pearls.   This view is how they look from the front.   Be sure to click on the picture to see the side view.   The seemingly unfinished raw sides & lack of signature give credence to the thought that these are prototypes, as they tend to look a little unfinished.   About 2 inches.   Rich and full, and so 60s.  These look like they would be uncomfortable to wear, but actually they fit quite nicely and are very comfortable.    These are unmarked Miriam Haskell, a  gift to the fashion director at Marshall Field upon completion of a successful campaign, from the Miriam Haskell company.
