RARE Miriam Haskell Baroque Pearl and Multicolored Crystal Fob Bracelet

Rare 1950s Miriam Haskell Baroque Pearl & Multicolored Crystal Fob Bracelet With A Brass Flower Box Clasp. From the 1920s until the late 1950s, glass beads were purchased and sent to Clio Novelty Company in Brooklyn or to Pongratchi on Long Island where they were “pearlized”; dipped and coated in an emulsion of fish scales…Both smooth and baroque pearls were made in a variety of shapes…The pearls people most consistently associate with Haskell’s Signature look came from the Niki Company of Tokyo, Japan. ..Hess visited the firm and was so impressed with the quality of the glass bead pearls he licensed Niki to be the exclusive supplier of baroque and smooth pearls to Haskell. For Haskell collectors, this is a benchmark date; any piece of jewelry using Niki pearls cannot be older than 1958.Measures approximately 3.5” in width and 4.5” in length including the fob when lying flat. This bracelet is in beautiful vintage condition!
