Vintage 1930's Miriam Haskell Wood Necklace

Miriam Haskell Wood Necklace
Rare 1930's unsigned Miriam Haskell necklace by Frank Hess. Wood necklace with hook clasp. Miriam Haskell's costume jewelry was seldom signed before 1950 - it was her brother, Joseph Haskell, who first introduced regularly signed Miriam Haskell jewelry. The years of the Great Depression and war brought about some of the wittiest, most absurd, and some of the most fun 20th century jewelry. Wood jewelry was either assembled, where wooden beads were mixed with plastic, glass and other materials, or carved and painted. Approximate Measurements: Length 18” Made in: USA Condition: Very Good
