Vintage Miriam Haskell Rhinestone and Glass Pearl Necklace and Earring Demi-Parure

This vintage signed Miriam Haskell set is in excellent condition and would make a truly stunning accessory for a wedding or cotillion. The base of the earrings is made of brass with a gold wash featuring lots of filigree and beautifully crafted small details in the metalwork. This is highlighted by an assortment of prong-set rhinestones and clear glass beads. The pendant, which is also the clasp for the necklace, matches the earrings but is slightly different in design, and is set with glass pearls and rhinestones. The rhinestones in both are larger, clearer, and more brilliant than are typically seen in costume jewelry from this period. Both earrings and pendant also have large baroque-style glass pearl drops accented by rhinestone rondelles.

The pendant is suspended by five strands of small glass pearls separated by seed-bead sized goldtone faceted spacer beads. The beading surrounding the clasp, approximately 3" to each side, features clear glass beads alternating with the small pearls, and one larger pearl on each strand in the middle of this "accent" section. The result is really stunning, but at the same time is very sophisticated and reserved. Wow!

The condition is Very Good for a vintage piece. You can see a small area of the gold bead cap in one of the photos where there is a small section of brownish green age damage. This is seen in similar small spots around both earring drops and at the tip of the metal headpin running through the earring drops. There is no damage on the necklace drop. I did not notice any damage to pearls, glass beads or set stones at all. The clasp is in good working order. The pads on the clip-style earrings are original, and do show their age. I would recommend replacing the pads for maximum comfort if you are purchasing this set to wear to a special event.

The earrings are marked "HASKELL" on the backs of the clips. The pendant has the oval style "Miriam Haskell" logo on the back.
