It is old Haskell with the horseshoe mark (visible in the enlargement) placing it most probably in the 1940's. Expands to fit any size.

This bracelet has everything! Baroque pearls, seed pearls, mirrorbacks,and gilt bows and flowers. It is hinged and fabric lined.It has the Haskell look but it is unsigned. As can be seen in the pictures, there is some corrosion frequently found in older pieces. It is priced accordingly. In my judgement it is highly collectible and wearable, and it is so spectacular that we have broken our rule to offer only pieces that are in perfect condition. Its flaws can be overlooked...

Wearing this brooch means letting it take center stage without any other jewelry for competition! Brooch is 4 1/4" in diameter and has a smooth silver-colored metal back.

Spectacular set designed for Miriam Haskell by Frank Hess. The heavily gold plated work is outstanding with its three dimensional leaf design on the necklace and complimentary flower head design on the earrings. As is typical of Haskell, there are many elements used here: large green glass beads, three different sizes of simulated pearls, and three sizes of clear, prong-set rhinestones. Both the necklace and earrings are thick and very well made...
