$295 USDHASKELL Rarest 'Chicklet' Lozenge Cascade ERs

What's rarer than a Miriam Haskell that never went to mass production . . . something that's as close to a one-of-a-kind as you can get. Such is this uniquely-designed chunky "chicklet" or lozenge dangle earrings, in a striking chartreuse and turquoise color combination. According to my research, this '60s pair is a prototype creation that was never mass-produced.

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Jomaz:Joseph Mazer
Hail to the elephant! The biggest creature to walk the earth, it is also perhaps the most glorified around the world. The elephant is a symbol of ultimate strength, power and wealth, of patience and wisdom, and good luck.
