About the Item

Offered here is a Miriam Haskell turquoise glass gold-plated necklace and bracelet set, made in Germany in the 1950s. The components for both pieces are alike, but the design expression for each item is its own, within the theme. The necklace has a centerpiece of two attached filigree half-cups, and hand-wired to them is a cluster of round turquoise glass beads that are tipped with small clear crystals in prong settings. Hanging from the center of the cups where they join is a fluted bell-shaped cone, from inside of which drop three dangles of tight-link chain with rondelles of clear crystals and the crystal-tipped turquoise glass beads. The sides of the necklace have clusters of the rondelles and turquoise beads, plus fluted bicone gold beads; they finish in a hook on one side, and a "tail" on the other side which ends in a fluted bell with a turquoise bead. The bracelet takes fluted gold beads as the primary element and connects them with a cluster of turquoise beads and a rondelle. The focal point of the bracelet is a large and festive dangling element: a full filigree cup is topped with a cluster of the hand-wired crystal-tipped beads; from the sides of this hang a few beads, beneath is a halo of filigree, and from the center hangs a fluted bell with bead that matches the "tail" on the necklace. This is a spectacular and singular example of Miriam Haskell's work, and specifically of her head designer Frank Hess. A private and elegant gentleman who came to work every day with a top hat and a silver-tipped cane, he was the creative side of the company, and his designs are legendary. The elite from Hollywood, New York, and Europe were often to be seen wearing Haskell; Joan Crawford and the Duchess of Windsor were just two of the Haskell devotees with vast collections of these intricate and meticulous creations. The company often had pieces manufactured in Germany, which was known for its excellence in jewelry construction; in the 1950s, pieces were occasionally still unsigned, or identified only with hang tags that could be removed. This sumptuous pairing of necklace and bracelet is vibrant and exciting; the condition is impeccable throughout, with a bright and unblemished gold finish and perfect beads. It is signed on the bracelet spring-ring clasp "Germany". Dimensions: necklace, adjustable up to 16.5"L, center drop is 3"L; bracelet, 7.5"L, dangle is 2.5"L x 1.25"W.
