Miriam Haskell Necklace

Graduated faux pearl and royal blue enamel pendant with a glass bead.

An incredible signed vintage Miriam Haskell necklace in beautiful condition.

Miriam Haskell founded her namesake New York company in 1926, with chief designer Frank Hess shaping its signature intricate, beaded style.

Haskell was inspired by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's pioneering embrace of "faux bijoux" (fashion / costume jewelry) and was a contemporary and friend of Chanel.

Haskell's high-end, handcrafted costume pieces were widely considered the premier American counterpart and competitor to European houses like Chanel and Schiaparelli.

Vintage Miriam Haskell pieces are highly prized collector's items. Because they were constructed without glue or solder—instead featuring intricate glass beads, rhinestones, and faux baroque pearls meticulously hand-wired onto filigree backings—they are viewed by collectors as masterpieces of wearable art.
