Miriam Haskell jewelry is known for its elaborate and innovative design, as well as the attention that is paid to detail in the construction of a piece. Miriam Haskell took many cues from the artists of the Art Nouveau period.You can see in her jewelry botanical motifs, intricate flowers, natural materials, and complex construction. These items undoubtedly took a long time to produce. Her vintage items are avidly collected, and the namesake company, which first displayed her jewelry in New York City's McAlpin Hotel, continues. This pendant is unmarked - it is a product of Miriam Haskell's early design efforts, circa 1920-30's. Most Haskell pieces predating the 1940's were unmarked.
