A flattened gilt chain and rose monte necklace, Miriam Haskell, early 1950s.
About the Item
A splendid necklace deigned by the earliest and leading designer for Miriam Haskell, Frank Hess. Made from gilt metal and rose montes (clear flatback pastes individually set), it is classic vintage Haskell. Using an elegant flattened chain, hand assembled gilt metal elements, and with a beautiful three dimensional circular pendant motif at the centre, intricately highlighted with rose montes, this striking necklace is a beautiful example of early Miriam Haskell jewellery,
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.
