When Millicent Rogers chucked her debutante life and set out to be an artist in Taos, New Mexico where Georgia O'Keefe reined as the leading art dame, Miriam Haskell responded to the simpler, more natural approach to life, love and fashion. Miriam created this wonderfully rich glass bead, wood bell parure, accented with celluloid leaves and hung on a fanciful celluloid chain. Now it's 'environmentally friendly', then it was 'patriotic'. (Metal was needed for the war effort so she did not use metal during the war.) Either way, it speaks to the love of a natural aesthetic grounded in a clever use of unusual jewelry materials. Overall, the charming necklace measures 15 and 1/2" long, a little over 1 and 1/2" wide, and a full 1" thick with bells. It closes with its original vintage celluloid hook clasp. The matching bracelet features the same wooden bell beads, leaves and tiny glass beads and measures 7 and 1/4" long and also closes with its original celluloid clasp. Millicent spent her money on antiques, so much so that she amassed 5,000 pieces her sons placed in a museum when she died. Artfully understated, and quintessentially Miriam Haskell, this is parure for your personal art museum. Excellent condition. Price $675.00 or Also available on layaway for 3 payments of $225.00 and Special Customers and Extra Special Customers can spread out payments longer.
