Rare Miriam Haskell Early Gripoix Glass Flowers Pearls Necklace by Frank Hess

Very beautiful and early Miriam Haskell necklace designed by Frank Hess, made in the early 1940s era. It is still on the original stringing with tiny brass beads, little glass flower petals and glass flowers with little rhinestones in the middle, poured glass pink beads, The flower clusters are surrounded by glass pearls with brass fittings on either end. The necklace is not signed; nor should it be for this era. We know by the pearls and fittings it is unquestionably Haskell and Frank Hess designed it. The condition is what I would consider acceptable for the age. As seen, there is verdigris to the brass metal fittings that is often found on older jewelry, and two rhinestones are missing (please see close up photo). I did not see any chips or cracks on the flowers when I examined them under a magnifier. I have hand wiped it off with a damp cloth and it should not be immersed in water due to the string. This is an actual antique/vintage item and therefore will show some age, as stated above. If this bothers you, please do not purchase
