Product Description
EARLY MIRIAM HASKELL BROOCH
1930's era.
One of the desirable and rare early unsigned pins features amber colored faceted lucite stones set in flower petal
shaped metal components which are hand wired onto a pierced Celluloid back. Strands of coated plastic string is a unique design feature of early Haskell jewelry. In this piece it is artistically wound in areas giving the piece a wonderful look. Dangling flowers seem to be tied together dropping down in an elegant cascade of blossoms.
These distinct components are shown the book "Miriam Haskell Jewelry" by Cathy Gordon and Sheila Pamfiloff.
This plastic coated string is a rare component in Haskell jewelry so I've included a photo from the book showing this.

These pins are so unique and this one is no exception. The lucite, (yes, lucite) stones are super clear in an unusual yellow amber color.They are highly faceted with more cuts than normal. Look like they are lit up inside, especially at at the edge of the stones.
Sure love the early unsigned Haskell jewelry! It is most unique. Check out the other ones here on this site, most are in Haskell Archives
This brooch in very good - excellent vintage condition. The coated string has two tiny spots where the coating has worn off at the top "bow" strands, and a few at 2 of dangling flower strands. Hardly noticeable but noted. Amazing condition considering the fragility of the coated string as well as the age of the piece. Charming brooch to add to your early Haskell jewelry collection
Measures 3~1/2" long x approx. 3" across.
