Rare Signed Miriam Haskell "Lipstick Red" Bib Necklace, Bracelet, Earrings Set
A Bold Departure in Ruby Glass.
This exceptional three-piece parure by the legendary Miriam Haskell is a striking example of the house's mid-century "encrusted" artistry. Eschewing traditional botanical motifs, this set focuses on the raw, geometric beauty of tiered glass and meticulous hand-wiring. In a vibrant "Lipstick Red" colorway, this collection remains one of the most sought-after palettes for serious collectors.
Design Highlights:
Triple-Strand Bib Necklace: Composed of three tiers of faceted cherry-red glass beads. The focal point is a massive, multi-level domed cluster of ruby glass beads rather than a floral spray.
Bracelet: A wide, commanding multi-strand design mirroring the necklace’s dense, domed motif. It is accented with rhinestone rondelles for a brilliant, icy contrast against the deep red glass.
Cluster Earrings: Large, high-profile matching earrings that utilize faceted bicone drops to create a lush, 3D effect.
Signature Craftsmanship: Every component is painstakingly hand-wired to ornate perforated brass backings. This technique ensures the weight of the glass is distributed evenly while allowing for a fluid, couture-level drape.
Iconic Finish: Executed in Haskell's proprietary "Russian Gold"—a 24K electroplated antiqued brass finish that provides a rich, historical glow.
Condition & Authenticity:
Authenticity: All pieces are clearly signed with the classic "Miriam Haskell" oval cartouche used after 1950.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The red glass is vibrant and free of chips; the metalwork retains a bright, consistent finish
