These RGP plated parts are getting very SCARCE now. Welcome to our Miriam Haskell parts shop! These are from the Miriam Haskell warehouse liquidation!  When Miriam Haskell went out of business, they sold off all their jewelry-making parts, and we were able to get our hands on a large amount of it. These are exquisite and rare vintage stampings. These parts date from the 1940's to the 1990's.  The metal parts in this lot are a mix of raw brass parts, and RGP gold plated parts. The RGP plating is what Miriam Haskell jewelry was famous for. This stunning "secret recipe" gold plating on Haskell parts can no longer be duplicated today. These RGP plated parts are getting very SCARCE now. Here is some information on the plating: Miriam Haskell parts "went through six to seven preparatory steps, and then the special dipping process, which created the [RGP] look.  The dipping solution contained 24-karat gold, among other (secret) ingredients.  It was made by hand, with the formula locked in a safe, known only to the company manager and his foreman.  The process was primitive....with the dipping timed by hand.  As more and more filigrees were dipped in the solution, gold content got lower and lower, causing variations in the coating depth and color on the filigrees." (excerpt from "Miriam Haskell Jewelry" by Gordon & Pamfiloff). You will receive all the parts you see in the photos.  There are over 51 pieces in this lot. There is one SIGNED "Miriam Haskell" clasp.  All the other pieces in this lot are unsigned. The very last photo shows where these parts came from.....the famous Miriam Haskell parts warehouse in New York.  Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
