A large multi row necklace of topaz glass beads, Miriam Haskell, USA, 1960s
About the Item
A striking and splendid show, this multi row glass bead and chain necklace, though unsigned, is undoubtedly Miriam Haskell, bearing all the hallmarks and composite elements characteristic of the celebrated designer. The decorative clasp in acorn or pinecone form, is set with pastes and forms a visual focal point . A long necklace that is versatile, to be worn casually or for a more sophisticated occasion, in soft and subtle colours of citrine through to topaz.
Miriam Haskell was born in 1899, opening her first boutique near the McAlpin Hotel in New York in 1924 with the title ‘Miriam Haskell – le Bijou de l’Heure’, selling unusual, handmade pieces, when others were fascinated with machine made pieces. A contemporary of Coco Chanel, Haskell also incorporated sophisticated French components and craftsmanship, using glass from both Gripoix and Rousselet in Paris. Her characteristic celebrated ‘baroque’ (unevenly shaped) pearls came from the Far East and were made exclusively for her, composing some of the most creative and distinguished designs of the 20th Century. Although not a designer herself, she was a v canny businesswoman who knew how to get the very best out of her designers.. Her most extraordinary pieces were designed by Frank Hess and, later, Robert F. Clark,to be followed by Larry Vrba and Camille (Millie) Petronio. Miriam Haskell died in 1981, having created a hugely successful and lasting business.
