MIRIAM HASKELL 50'S 3-PC SET GOLD GILT LACY FILIGREE BRASS NECKLACE BROOCH & EARRINGS For your consideration, an absolutely MAGNIFICENT necklace with matching brooch and  earrings designed and hand made for Miriam Haskell CIRCA in the 1950's.  ALL GOLD GILT BRASS WITH THE LOOK & FEEL OF REAL GOLD. The necklace features  four strands of box link gilt brass chains and a magnificent filigree gold gilt brass pendant with graduated size molded filigree gold gilt brass lacy frills clustered to form flowers.  Each floret is all hand wired to a lattice gold gilt brass base.  The florets are attached to the other by closed loop rings.   It is very unusual and truly beautiful.  The necklace fastens with a decorated encrusted floret box clasp.   The clasp is signed “MIRIAM HASKELL”.   The necklace is fairly long and can be worn draped with other necklaces, but I do not think it can be wrapped around the neck more than one.  The cluster can be worn to either side of the neck/chest, to  the front  on chest or the back of neck. The brooch is all gold gilt brass with graduated molded filigree gold gilt brass lacy frills similar to those of the necklace.  The gold gilt brass frills are graduated sizes and each is hand wired to the molded gold gilt brass base.    The brooch is signed “MIRIAM Haskell” on an oval cartouche attached to the underside. The earrings are gold gilt brass dangles.  It is designed with a filigree gold gilt bead in the head in each earring. Each earring has a dangle made from a gold gilt brass chain with box links from which hangs a filigree gold gilt brass bead with lacy bead cap.    The earrings fasten with lever back screws.  Both earring are signed “MIRIAM HASKELL” on the underside and "HASKELL"  on the ridge of the lever back.  The screw heads of each earring has a pat no. stamped on it. The pieces all have a good solid weight and the design has are unusually and beautiful.  They have the look and feel of real Russian gold.     The beads and brass accents used in construction of the pieces are of the best quality and contribute to its smooth finish, exquisite beauty and well preserved condition.  It will appreciate in value over the years if gently worn and carefully stored. DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT : All measurements are approximate and taken at longest/widest points. Necklace  ~25”L end to end.  That is the measurement when the necklace is laid flat in a straight line. It includes length of shortest chain, the clusters of lacy filigree gilt brass florets and the box clasp.  Does not include the push tongue latch.    It weighs approximately 88 grams. Earrings  ~ 2”L end to end x ½”W at widest point.  Each earring weighs approximately 6 grams. Brooch  ~ 2 ½”L x 1 ¾”W x ½”H.  Measurements are approximate  at longest, widest and highest points.  The brooch weighs 15 grams. CONDITION : Please note this is pre-owned 1950's vintage jewelry and the pieces have been gently worn.  It originally belonged to a relative and has been in storage in a dust free and temperature controlled storage facility since I received it  in 1980’s.  The findings of the pieces are all original and fairly well preserved. There is some tarnish which gives the pieces a Russian gold hue.  I have not noticed any patina, but, it is the nature of brass to tarnish as it ages.  I may also develop some patina I have not noticed.   The chains have no gapping or stretching in any of the links.  The push tongue clasp of the necklace fastens securely.  The pin of the brooch is a bit discolored, but still sharp, straight, sturdy and fits into the roll over latch which fastens securely.  The earring backs fit snug and can be adjusted by the screws for comfort and security. Please note  that tarnish and patina are part of the nature of brass and this develops over time.  Additionally, please  REMEMBER, THAT MOST  VINTAGE PIECES ARE FRAGILE DUE TO AGE  and should be gently worn  and  handled with care.
