A truly exceptional vintage signed Miriam Haskell four-strand glass baroque pearl necklace — one of the most collected and revered names in 20th century American costume jewelry. This piece showcases everything that makes Haskell a benchmark for collectors: Four hand-strung strands of Haskell's renowned signature glass baroque pearls in a warm cream/champagne tone with the characteristic organic irregularity, rich luster, and subtle iridescence that no other manufacturer has ever replicated. Pearls are separated by tiny seed pearl spacers. Haskell's signature back-stringing technique that distinguishes her work from ordinary strung beads. The strands terminate in Haskell's instantly recognizable ornate filigree end caps in Russian gold (antiqued brass) finish, featuring the signature sunburst-radiating circles and intricate openwork patterns. Original hook-and-eye closure with the iconic oval Miriam Haskell signature plaque clearly visible.
