A magnificent pair of gilt/rose montes 'leaf' earrings, Miriam Haskell, 1960s.
About the Item
A beautiful and rich gilded metal earring in the form of a sycamore or maple leaf. Designed by Robert Clark for Miram Haskell in the early 1960s, these large, elegant earrings are decorated with rose montes (flat back pastes set on a wire and claw setting, unique to Miriam Haskell) , edging the leaves and clustered in the centre. Sumptuous and beautifully made (the backs are as intriguing as the fronts, with Miriam Haskell designs), these are classic Haskell, and wonderful to own.
Miriam Haskell was born in 1899, opening her first boutique near the McAlpin Hotel in New York in 1924 with the title ‘Miriam Haskell – le Bijou de l’Heure’, selling unusual, handmade pieces, when others were fascinated with machine made pieces. A contemporary of Coco Chanel, Haskell also incorporated sophisticated French components and craftsmanship, using glass from both Gripoix and Rousselet in Paris. Her characteristic celebrated ‘baroque’ (unevenly shaped) pearls came from the Far East and were made exclusively for her, composing some of the most creative and distinguished designs of the 20th Century. Although not a designer herself, she was a v canny businesswoman who knew how to get the very best out of her designers.. Her most extraordinary pieces were designed by Frank Hess and, later, Robert F. Clark,to be followed by Larry Vrba and Camille (Millie) Petronio. Miriam Haskell died in 1981, having created a hugely successful and lasting business.
