Featuring ornate stamped-brass findings c1930, this Miriam Haskell floral-motif collar necklace was made by her first designer Frank Hess in an Art-Nouveau style with 15 dangling bud-shaped or fluted-ball pendants, which are linked by intricately textured bands and oval rings that form the chain choker. Among the festoon of graduating charms, the largest centered pendant is 1.5 inches long and 0.75 inches in diameter. One of our photos show that the surprisingly light-weight pendants are hollow--some with a hole punched at the bottom.
The distinct stamped brass, which include a fold-over clasp, are found in more obviously Haskell-Hess pre-WWII jewelry...
