Haskell in Tibet necklace

Seraglia has searched all over the world to find the right elements to create this unique masterpiece:

• Japanese 1940's Cherry Brand beads with aventurine glass sparkle
• Wire wrapped beads from India
• Vintage insigned Miriam Haskell clasp, pendant, accents and beads, circa 1950
• Vintage and modern rhinestone rondells
• Vintage deco pale green beads
• Vintage brass bead caps
• Vintage hand cut aurora borealis crystal beads
• Japanese seed beads

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 unplated brass filigree.

Many of her early peices 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 peices have been skillfully combined with complimentary vintage and contemporary materials to create a one off masterpeice.

The necklace fastens with a hook, allowing the length to be altered from chestpiece to choker, as desired. Matching earrings available on request.
