This chic long necklace is from the 1950s, by Miriam Haskell. It features green glass beads along a gold gilt chain amongst 4 larger rectangular links (very Art Deco!). I highlighted an interesting pair of clip earrings by Miriam Haskell here on 3/26/2011. In my research, I am seeing that Miriam Haskell jewelry is quite collectible, and some ornate vintage pieces can bring several hundred dollars or more. They began selling their extremely high quality, intricate hand crafted jewelry in Manhattan in 1926. Designs prior to 1947 were rarely marked, so be on the look out for misrepresented "fakes."
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on www.rubylane.com is coming soon.
