This fabulous vintage bib necklace is by famed jewelry designer Miriam Haskell says "festive."

"Miriam Haskell (July 1, 1899 – July 14, 1981) was an American designer of costume jewelry. With creative partner Frank Hess, she designed affordable pieces from 1920 through the 1960s.  Most notable clients and collectibility of her work:  Miriam Haskell jewelry was worn for publicity shots, films, and personal use by movie stars Joan Crawford and Lucille Ball, as well as by Gloria Vanderbilt and the Duchess of Windsor. Crawford owned a set of almost every Haskell ever produced, from the 1920s through the 1960s."  --wikipedia.com

This necklace displays many elements of design--book-chain links, engraved stations, engraved connectors, dangling metal beads, and glass teardrop dangles.  The translucent glass teardrops hang from chains of various lengths.  There are three colors of the glass--red, purple, and lavender.  It appears that the metal is gilt brass.  The necklace is signed on an oval hangtag embossed with "MIRIAM HASKELL."  The necklace opens/closes with an early thumb-ring clasp.

Not sure, but I think this great necklace dates from the 1950s.

Condition:  Excellent condition with no issues to note; metal has various shades of aged patina, but I don't see any wear; glass is pristine

Approximate measurements:  18" long, center of necklace to end of longest dangle--slightly over 3" long, from top of diamond (engraved station) to end of longest dangle--slightly over 3 1/4" long

Shipping amount includes insurance.
