Necklace made from natural coral. This unsigned necklace is an early Miriam Haskell piece. Haskell bore no permanent signature between 1926 and 1947 using paper tags instead, while until 1949 only a fraction of her work displayed permanent marks. Such natural coral pieces are dated to 1930s and early 1940s.
