Beautiful MIRIAM HASKELL ocean-themed pendant necklace and earrings set. Antiqued gold-plate over brass base metal.
The necklace features a massive oval mother-of-pearl shell pendant with cream, pinkish-coral and bright gold branch spiky accents. The pendant is suspended from an opaque bead with gold spacers, coral and gold necklace. Slips on overhead or fastens via the typical Haskell catch clasp.
The screwback pendant earrings emulate the theme.
The necklace measures 23"L with a 3 1/4" by 2 1/2" pendant. The earrings measure 1 1/4"L.
All pieces are signed MIRIAM HASKELL.
Good to very good vintage condition with some age-appropriate wear.
Miriam Haskell: 1899-1981
Miriam Haskell was an American designer of costume jewelry. With creative partner Frank Hess, she designed affordable pieces from 1920 through the 1960's.
Moving to New York City in 1924 with $500 in her pocket, she opened a jewelry boutique in 1926 in the old McAlpin Hotel, and a second outlet within the year at West 57th Street. Frank Hess joined her business the same year. The two worked together until Miriam left the company; Hess continued to design for many years afterwards. In the 1930's, the company relocated to 392 Fifth Avenue; their affordable art glass, strass, and gold-plate parures were popular throughout the Great Depression, and the company went on to open boutiques at Saks Fifth Avenue and Burdine's, as well as stores in Miami and London. The Saks shop also offered pieces by Chanel.
Miriam Haskell jewelry was worn for publicity shots, films, and personal use by movie stars Joan Crawford and Lucille Ball, as well as by Gloria Vanderbilt and the Duchess of Windsor. Crawford owned a set of almost every Haskell ever produced, from the 1920's through the 1960's.
Her vintage pieces can command high prices from collectors. However, her jewelry was seldom signed before 1950, and it was her brother Joseph Haskell who introduced the first regularly signed Miriam Haskell jewelry. For a very short time during the 1940's, a shop in New England did request all pieces they received be signed by Miriam - this signature being a horseshoe-shaped plaque with Miriam Haskell embossed on it. Pieces with this signature are rare.
Her vintage items are eagerly collected and the namesake company, which first displayed her jewelry in New York City's McAlpin Hotel, continues.
