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...

I can just see this pair slogging through the desert. Somewhat humorous, yet with a certain dignity that comes from the exotic. This brooch is beautiful in its three dimensional design and is silver plated. Plaque on the back says Thief of Bagdad (from the film) and Korda. There is a "3" on the left and a "6" on the right along with some other unclear markings. From spear end to hoof is 3" and from spear tip to tail is 2 1/2".
