Ready and waiting for your neck, collection, special outfit / occasion, or gift giving - you will love this!

ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True vintage / antique piece - she made jewelry as early as 1926. I am broadly guessing this to be circa 1930's to 1950's.

METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Fantastic mix of materials - glass, early plastic beads, and metal

CLOSURE/CLASP = Elaborately decorated box insert clasp

MARKS = MIRIAM HASKELL in an oval on the back of the clasp

MEASUREMENTS = Wearable length (not counting portion that inserts into the clasp) is aprox 18" long from end to end - the pendant adds an additional 3 1/2" of visual length in the from of a dangle or drop

US RING SIZE = x

WEIGHT = x

TESTING = x

CONDITION = Great vintage condition - no damage found to mention. If I was forced to find a flaw - I would say that one of the plastic bead stations is a bit longer than the other. But that is original to the necklace and a byproduct of the hand created / hand assembled nature. And I wouldn't have it any other way or change a thing on this very special necklace at all. No stone damage and clasp is in good working and holding order. In an excellent state of preservation

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an extension and integral part and of the description.
