WesternGermany 1950s CherryRed MoldFacetedBead FlowerClasp DoubleStrand Necklace
About the Item
Stamped "Western Germany" on the gold-tone underside of its box clasp, this double-strand long necklace with cherry-red beads and decorative clasp features the reflective glossy faceted surfaces of shatter-resistant opaque acrylic Plexiglass--elsewhere known by the tradenames Lucite or Perspex. This same material was used mid-century to structure hard-surface handbags and transparent "jelly belly" costume jewelry.
In this post-1948 West Germany necklace, its uniquely moulded acrylic top of the clasp is decorated with a gold-tone crown-like ring around its high-relief center, which together with its fluted edges resembles a flowerhead.
While Germany was the first country to manufacture Bakelite and invent more durable acrylic resin, post-war West Germany excelled in manufacturing thermoplastics for the international fashion industry in the tradition of Czech-glass beads.

HaskellStyle PostWarII GlassLampworkPearlBeads GreenMetallic Filigree Necklace
Located in Chicago, IL
This is an excellent mid-century Japanese reproduction of a Miriam Haskell glass green-tone and metallic three-strand choker necklace. It features the American designer's characteristic use of colorful hand-crafted lampwork, seed and faux-pearl beads, along with Parisian-style silver-gilt metal filigree caps and findings.
A supplier of Haskell's post-WWII Japanese-made beads and findings also made its own unbranded designs using the same materials. Whereby "Japan" is discreetly stamped on the hook that enables fastening along the extension chain.
The faux-nacre coating of the pearls has partly disappeared on only the gold-accented smallest round beads. This does not detract from the necklace because similar irregular patterns with a mix of colors are among the multiple styles and sizes of beads (see closeups). The many colors include gold, ecru, brown, seafoam green, olive, mint, and vivid green.
If you want the look of an authentic Haskell necklace for a fraction of the price, then you may want this piece.
Otherwise, we pride ourselves on being able to identify unsigned Haskell...
