MIRIAM HASKELL 4-PC SUITE CARAMEL & CREAM ART GLASS GOLD GILT BRASS ACCENTS
For your consideration, a marvelously beautiful and rare Haskell Suite:
The design features topaz colored round button shaped art glass cabochons with cream colored speckled surface and caramel colored wavy stripe accentuated by topaz colored glass seed beads and barrel beads. The underside of the box clasp of the necklace is signed “MIRIAM HASKELL”.
Both sets of earrings and brooch are  signed "MIRIAM HASKELL" on the paddle backs and a cartouche, respectively.
Earrings:
The cluster as well as the dangle earrings have textured molded leaves,  topaz colored seed beads and an art glass button shaped cabochon.
The dangle earrings have large barrel shaped art glass beaded dangle. The cabochon and beads are hand wired to the base and accentuated by brass spacer seed beads and filigree brass bead caps.  Both sets of earrings fasten with paddle clip backs.   The cluster earrings each weigh approx. 8.90 grams and measure approx. 1 ¼”L x 1”W.
The cluster with dangle earrings each weigh approx. 16.80 grams and measure approx. 2 ¼”L x 1”W
Brooch:
The brooch is modernistic corsage design featuring ribbons of molded gold gilt brass flower design juxtaposed against cylindrical barrel shaped topaz glass beads, and a an art glass button shaped cabochon similar to those of the earrings. All the beads and the brass accents are hand wired to a filigree brass base which is in turn hand wired to another brass base which has a combination of filigree and art nouveau era flowing flowery design. It weighs 22.00 grams and measures 2” x 1 ½” x ½”.
Necklace:
The necklace is a single stand/string
of large and heavy art glass barrel
beads similar to those of the dangles on the earrings, accentuated with etched round brass beads and molded brass bead caps.
The necklace fastens with a cluster box clasp with push tongue latch.
The necklace is heavy and weighs a whopping 125.30 grams. It measures 19 ¼”L.
The art glass beads are 30 x 22 mm.
Condition:
Please note this set is pre-owned vintage costume designer jewelry. The brooch and earrings have been gently worn. The gold gilt surface of all the pieces are slightly tarnished  with a warm Russian Gold hue.  The bead caps on the earrings have small amounts of  patina.    Tarnish and patina is consistent with nature of brass from which the pieces are made. The tarnish is not unsightly and does add to the vintage charm of the pieces. The art glass cabochons, and beads have all retained their warm rich honey and amber colors with no bruises, chips or cracks.  The pin of the brooch is straight, sharp, sturdy and fits into the roll over latch which fastens securely. The earring backs fasten securely.  Structurally, all pieces of jewelry are fairly well preserved and I would say in “MINT VINTAGE CONDITION” with minor flaws, mostly tarnish and patina which are consistent with the nature of the material from which they are made as well as age and usage.
NOTE:
All pieces in this auction are part of my personal collection of vintage Haskell costume jewelry.  They have been in storage for years and may need a small amount of cleaning.  Most of my pieces  have been gently worn, a few are  unworn.   I do not clean my Haskell pieces as I am not an expert and some cleaning agents can be corrosive to vintage costume jewelry, particularly faux pearls.
