MIRIAM HASKELL 50’s ROPE
LARIAT & DANGLE EARRINGS: Emerald
Green Poured Glass Beads Green Rose Montée Gold Gilt Filigree Brass
Accents
For your consideration,
an absolutely gorgeous single string/strand rope lariat necklace and matching dangle earrings designed and
handmade for Miriam Haskell CIRCA in the 1950's.
The necklace is designed
with round emerald green poured glass beads 8 – 10mm.
The beads are accentuated by tiny emerald green spacer beads.
Attached to both ends of the necklace are large tassel dangles of gold gilt filigree beads and brass caps which are jewel encrusted with hand wired emerald green rose montée. The end of each tassel has a round emerald green poured glass bead which is approximately 14mm and capped with a gold gilt brass filigree cap.
The necklace is fairly
long and can be worn draped with other necklaces or wrapped around the neck at
least 3 times maybe 4 times if your neck measurement is no more than 15”.
The dangles can be worn to the front as pendants, at the side or at
the back of neck. It can also be wrapped around the wrist several times
and worn as a bracelet.
It is a lariat, so it
has no fastening. The necklace is signed on an oval hang tag which is
signed “MIRIAM HASKELL”. The signature is embossed and shown on the
underside of the tag as well. Haskell pieces CIRCA 1950’s were hallmarked
with these embossed hang tags.
The matching dangle
earrings have gold gilt brass filigree
heads and a dangle of two emerald green
poured glass beads one of which is accentuated by gold gilt brass bead caps. The earrings fasten with lever back clips
with screws. The earrings are both
double signed, “MIRIAM HASKELL “ on the underside and “HASKELL” on the ridge of
the lever back mechanism.
The pieces all have a
good solid weight and the design is exquisitely beautiful with the look and
feel of real gold, and semi-precious gems. The beads and
brass findings used in construction of the necklace are of the best
quality and contribute to its smooth finish, exquisite beauty and well
preserved condition. It will appreciate in value over the years if
gently worn and carefully stored.
DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT: All measurements are approximate and taken at
longest/widest points.
Necklace ~ 54½”L end to end and includes the tassel
dangles. It weighs 156
grams.
Earrings ~ 2½”L x 1”W x 1” in thickness.

CONDITION: Please note this is pre-owned 1950's vintage
jewelry which has been gently worn. It originally belonged to a relative
and has been in storage in a dust free and temperature controlled
storage facility since I received it in 1970’s. It is in very
good preserved condition and looks like new.
The findings of the
necklace and earrings are all original and fairly well preserved. There is very
little tarnish on the gold gilt brass findings. The emerald
green poured glass beads are well preserved with no cracks, bruises or chips.
The rose montée are also well preserved,
and there are no missing stones. The threading of the
necklace has no fraying or stretching. The earring backs fit snug and the screws
adjust easily to for a comfortable and secure fit.
Please note that tarnish and patina are part of the
nature of brass and this develops over time. Additionally, REMEMBER,
THAT MOST VINTAGE PIECES ARE FRAGILE DUE TO AGE and should
be gently worn and handled with care.
