1930s Miriam Haskell Persimmon Dangling Bead Bib Necklace & Earring Set
About the Item
Miriam Haskell jewellery is some of the most prized and beautiful costume jewellery from the 20th century. The intricate designs coupled with their novel colours and materials have made Haskell jewellery hugely coveted by collectors, with the most elaborate pieces fetching many hundreds of pounds.
Miriam began her fashion career in New York city working as a milliner but pivoted to jewellery in 1926 when she opened her first shop, named Le Bijou de l'Heure. Haskell was a very private lady and not a lot of information is known about her personal life, however she was recognized as an elegantly dressed lady with style and a keen business sense. Her eponymous jewellery line swiftly gained recognition for its handmade, top-quality pieces. The scrupulous attention to detail and beauty of the jewellery quickly won fans among Hollywood stars and the most stylish ladies of the era.
Baroque pearls are probably the most recognizable Haskell material but a wide variety has been utilized throughout the life of the company. Wooden beads, leather, plastic, rhinestones, glass beads, shells, bone and semi-precious stones have all been used.
Perhaps the most famous feature of a Haskell piece of jewellery is the metal filigree base. The metal bases were initially pierced metal with solid backings. The iconic gold plated and lacquered filigree style plate was introduced in the late 1940s.
