Larry Vrba for Miriam Haskell 1970s Jade & Gold Tone Necklace

1970s Larry Vrba for Miriam Haskell pendant and chain.   Main stone is real unpolished jade with a filagree bail. 

This piece is extremely rare, and after hours of digging through the Miriam Haskell archives (she dates back to 1926), I could not find a replica. 

Measurements:

Chain: 13.5 inches long. 

Pendant is 3 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall.

Description of Item:

Pendant is signed on the solid filigree back. It is a Solid, and not flimsy. Flat oval slide clasp on chain, so you are able to take the pendant off of chain. Marked on the clasp is patent 3427691, along with a signature on the other side of the clasp. Made in US. 

The pendant has discoloration from old age, you would too! (; See the last picture for more information.
