About the Item

A beautiful and very elegant 'bib' style necklace, with matching earrings, from the 1960s , designed by Robert Clark for Miriam Haskell. Gentle half moon/crescent tiers of rose montes, highlighted with single drop baroque pearls, graduate down to a single tier, the pearls, moving with the wearer. This would be the most charming wedding parure, the colour of the pearls perfect, the gentle design gracing the neck. Or for other formal occassions. Or each piece simply worn on their own, particularly the earrings, for more casual and informal wear. 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.
