This is a beautiful necklace and earrings set by Miriam Haskell. White seed beads are set in Russian Gold findings. A Russian gold finish is a matte, antique-look finish. Miriam Haskell jewelry often has a Russian Gold finish, which is actually a brass plated finish.

Large white beads make up the necklace. Small rhinestones are studded throughout the design for added sparkle.
***Please note that this necklace pendant is placed toward the side of the neck and not center front. It features an unusual strand arrangement to make it truly one of a kind.
