Miriam Haskell 1945 Peacock Beads Bracelet Earrings 16 Strand Necklace Set RARE

This is an absolutely stunning 4 piece set designed by Miriam Haskell's first designer Frank Hess. Frank designed this peacock-colors parure with hallmark Russian-gold gilt-brass filigree, along with a characteristic variety of beads that include glass, faceted crystal, decorative metal, and faux pearls. The set of four pieces includes a triple-wire bypass cuff bracelet and matching clip earrings, plus a lush 16-strand bib choker necklace--all with gilt-wire-wrapped strands. This predates by a couple years the adoption of the post-war Haskell hallmarks that include a round gilt-filigree back plate that completely conceals wiring for attachment of a brand-signed element, such as a name plate or different style of clip. As a variation of the classic wire-constructed bypass cuffs by Hess that date back to the late 1920s, the three-row beaded bracelet, whose wires are aligned by perforated gilt-brass plates on both sides, flexes to open and springs back. The bracelet diameter is 2.25 inches when on a tabletop. The necklace measures, Width: 2.5 in (63.5 mm)Depth: 1 in (25.4 mm)Diameter: 4.5 in (114.3 mm)Length: 16.5 in (419.1 mm) All items are in good condition and have not been cleaned.
