MIRIAM HASKELL 2-PIECE
SUITE: BROOCH & EARRINGS GOLD GILT BRASS CLOVER W BAROQUE PEARL
For your consideration a
wonderful 2 piece suite created for Haskell CIRCA 1970's.
The set comprises a fabulous brooch and matching pair of clip on dangle style
earrings. The findings used in construction of this set are gold gilt brass; which has been molded and textured, and the pearls are man-made; they are glass with white pearl nacre.
The brooch is round wreath designed 3-dimensional designed. Two layers of thick textured gold gilt brass 3-leaf clover are hand wired to the filigree base. Each clover has a tiny 3 x 2 mm white baroque pearl in the center. The back of the brooch has an oval cartouche tag signed “MIRIAM HASKELL” attached. The pin opens at an angle 3/4 way.
The earrings are clip-on
dangle style earrings. The head of each earring is a thick textured gold gilt brass 3-leaf clover with
a tiny 3 x 2 mm white baroque pearl in the center. The setting is similar to that of the brooch.
Hanging from each earring is a 10mm white baroque faux pearl. The earrings fasten with lever back clips
with screws which allows for adjustment to how they fit. Both earrings are
signed “MIRIAM HASKELL” on the underside, as well as “HASKELL” on the ridge of
the lever.
The beads and findings
used in the construction of these pieces are imported and are of the best
quality. The construction is solid and smooth and the pieces all
have a good weight.
You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT: All measurement and weights are
approximate
Earrings ~ Each earring is 1⅛”L x ¾”W x
½” in thickness. Each earring weighs 4 grams.
Brooch ~ 2 ¼” in diameter x ⅝” in thickness. It weighs 28 grams
CONDITION: This is pre-owned vintage jewelry. It
has been gently worn. The pieces were stored in temperature
controlled dust free environment for many years.
Structurally, the pieces
are all well preserved and in excellent vintage condition with minor tarnish on
the gold gilt brass finding. There are no damaged parts, and all
parts are original. The pin of the brooch is sturdy, sharp and
straight. It fits into the roll over latch which fastens
securely. The earrings both have tiny spots of patina around the wiring and under the tiny baroque pearls. The underside of both earrings also have some traces of patina due to aging of the brass. This can be cleaned, but I think it adds to the vintage charm. It is not distracting or unsightly. The earring clip backs and screws all fasten securely and
easily adjust. There are no broken, chipped or missing pearls.
PLEASE REMEMBER, THAT
MOST VINTAGE PIECES ARE FRAGILE DUE TO AGE and should be gently
worn and handled with care.
