To me this piece is quintessential Miriam Haskell, known for decades for substantial glass pearl pieces set off with rich Russian gold plating and rose montee crystals. Though I have no vintage Haskell pieces in my collection, I have admired this particular necklace for a long time and finally took the plunge and got it. I can say with happiness that it looks as terrific on as it does in the Haskell web site photos. It is meant to be work with the large and ornate clasp either to the side, or in the back (kind of a shame you can’t wear it showing centered in the front, though).

Available for purchase from the Haskell site for US $885.
