Hi, when I found this I looked online and found and illustrated ad for Miriam Haskell Jewellery with this necklace and possibly earrings and a brooch but I can't find it anymore. It's an illustrated image. It's the only 'proof' I had that it was her collection. :-( Thanks for any help offered!
I don't know if you just made a typo here or when you were also looking up online but it is Miriam Haskell. I can't help to positively id the piece here for you, perhaps one of our members who are familiar with her work will see this as well.
Lol! I hadn't even noticed that, good catch. I think my phone autocorrects Miriam to Mariam because it's my friend's name. Thanks, I'll fix that right away! Done! Thanks again
Morning Glory Antiques and Jewelry is a site that has been very helpful when I've researched vintage jewelry. They include some ad images on their site. This is a link to their Miriam Haskell pages
Thanks Mary, I spent quite a bit of time on that page when I got the pieces but haven't been back since. It's a wonderful page! I'll take a look, maybe there's new images. Thanks again!
I looked through all of the illustrations on Cathy Gordon's wonderful image event site and did not find an illustration that looks like your piece - but that doesn't mean that there isn't one elsewhere. Could you take another photo with a little more light on a lighter background and show the underside of the piece, as well? Thanks!
Thanks Linn! I'll get more photos tonight when I get home. The image that I saw is drawn well enough that you can see those little bird beads clearly and the other thing I remember is that it mentioned the silk cording so it must have been on a web page or listing because none of the ads I've seen show the back. I was searching information about Boucher's work in Belleville near where I live and that's when I stumbled upon the Miriam Haskell ad because some of the round closures were made there. Don't know if that helps but it shows the trail I was on. The image was on my old computer so it's long gone. Thanks for taking a look. Fingers crossed that one of us will come across it
Hi Linn, Disappointing pics so I'll take some tomorrow in normal daylight. Here's a couple but as you can see all the lights on in my kitchen just made it worse, lol.
