Miriam Haskell is one of the most respected and collected names in costume jewellery. Her work is renowned for its exoticism, romance and attention to detail, with extensive use of art glass, wired beading and un plated brass filigree.

Many of her early pieces are unsigned, and were produced during the war years when materials were limited. The red beads used here are plain glass painted with enamel, no doubt as red glass beads were not available.

These and the other original beads have been skillfully combined with complimentary vintage and contemporary materials to create a one off heirloom treasure.

Matching earrings available on request.
