A berry cluster of white glass beads are attached to a round pierced plastic piece. Hanging from the berry cluster are nine strands of graduated white glass beads, each with a tiny bead at the end. 1 3/4" x 3 1/4".

Miriam Haskell's jewelry was not signed until the late 1940s. Elements that lead me to believe that this is an unsigned Miriam Haskell are:

1. WWII Haskell clip identified in a photo on p. 75 Miriam Haskell Jewelry by Pamfiloff and Gordon
2. Beads attached to pierced plastic backing
3. Beads are typical of beads used by Haskell
4. The style is Haskellesque

This would have been a WWII dress clip, circa 1940, made without earlier metal back plates which became unavailable when metals were appropriated for war materials production in the early 1940s.

Unsigned
Condition: Excellent vintage - typical verdigris of old piece
