Miriam Haskell 1930 Fringe Glass & BrassBar Pendants ChainLink Art Deco Necklace

About the Item

Featuring a relatively heavy fringe of dangling Russian-gilt brass bars and contrasting French-blue textural hand-pressed glass beads topped with filigree caps to resemble flower buds, this c.1930 brass round-link chain necklace was made in an Art Deco two-tone style by Miriam Haskell's first designer Frank Hess, who favored floral motifs. Assembled in The States, it dates to The Great Depression as early as 1929 when Haskell temporarily substituted her characteristic imported Parisian lampwork-glass and handcrafted faux-pearl beads since opening her first French-named ready-to-wear costume-jewelry boutique in 1926 for less expensive materials likely sourced from Czechoslovakia instead of France. The unsigned necklace fastens with a spring-ring clasp that Haskell sometimes used during this period, in addition to simple thumbless ones that are also found in pieces by some Czech makers. While no Haskell costume jewelry was marked prior to 1947, during his decades as head designer for Miriam Haskell, Hess continued to make variations of his earlier pieces, such as this bar-fringe style that we have found in later signed necklaces and bracelets that comparatively had baroque faux-pearls attached as end beads.

Antique Amuletic Dozen RockCrystals CagedRing Medieval Style Gilt Bronze Pendant
Located in Chicago, IL
This antique amuletic bronze framed pendant cages a dozen 7mm-diameter single-cut rock crystals that each feature a table-cut decagon crown, deep pavilion, 21 facets and uncut girdle, while the culets range from off-center to blunted. They are tightly set within four linked rings to overlap at the same angle in a sparkling single row. Seeming to retain a little of its original yellow-gold gilding on just the interior, the frame that surrounds each of the four sections of three crystals enables them to reflect pale-yellow-and-lime light when the pendant is viewed from certain angles. Suggesting French heritage, the Medieval Frankish culture in northern France made jewelry in similar segmented or openwork shapes of wheels or whorls, which were worn as gem-decorated disk-shaped brooches or gold-caged rock...
