    Description

    Very Rare 1950's Coral & Milk Glass Memory Coil Parure including Necklace, Bracelet and Earrings. The tapering 5 row down to 4 row necklace measures approximately 15 inches in total length and is finished with a beaded extension and hook style clasp. The 5 row bracelet measures approximately 6 1/2 inches in inside length and is finished with dangle beads. The clip back earrings for non-pierced ears measure approximately 1 1/8 inch across. I originally thought this was an unsigned Miriam Haskell parure, and I found the same style in a blue and white (bracelet only) online at at another seller who had identified it and sold it as Miriam Haskell, so that and other research is what led me to believe that is was Miriam Haskell. Since then I have had a well known Miriam Haskell book author look at it and she said it is not Miriam Haskell, so sad. All that said, it is still an amazing 1950's era parure to add to any collection of fine costume jewelry.
    My husbands father brought back many lovely pieces of jewelry, porcelain, clothing, perfumes, and household items to his new bride upon his return from Europe after WWII. Many of the items have gone to family, but there are still many items that need a home, and they are listed here. There are also other items, long held family treasures that also need to find new homes, as we have no room in ours for them. Many of them have been passed on from generation to generation over 100's of years. We hope they find a home with you.
