Faux Baroque Pearl Necklace 'Pate de Verre' Accents: Original by Robert

Description: Is it? Or isn't it? A Miriam Haskell, that it. If we hadn't given the answer away in this listing's title, there's a good chance Haskell would have been a great guess at the maker of this superlative faux baroque pearl pendant necklace.But this Victorian Revival-style necklace is a creation of — surprise! — Robert Levy (a.k.a. Original by Robert), and it is every bit as impressive and beautiful as any Haskell faux pearl offering.This Robert masterpiece showcases large glossy faux baroque pearls plus a floral cluster pendant that's to-die-for. The pendant features a faux mabe pearl, glitzy crystals, lacy gilt filigree and is topped off by pink "pate de verre" or poured glass petals.The floral pendant and baroque pearl necklace are very "Haskellesque". Perhaps the only clue that it's not is a pair of aurora borealis crystal "balls" flanking the pendant (Haskell rarely used this element for her pearl jewelry).The focal point in our necklace is its faux pearl and poured glass pendant. A rough shield shape, it has a large faux baroque mabé pearl in the center, surrounded by florets with faux baroque pearl petals and crystal centers, filigree lace and gilt leaves.The pendant cluster is asymmetric in style. On the right side is a unique bell-shaped flower that is pearlized all over, and with a crystal center. Beside it are three large pink petals, made of poured glass and beautifully transparent. A pair of pate de verre petals accent the centerpiece on the left side. The baroque pearl florets are strewn around the center pearl and the pate de verre petals.The pendant permanently hangs from a faux baroque pearl necklace, which has a pair of AB crystal balls flanking the pendant. The glass pearl beads are large, just a tad under 1/2" rough rounds. They are capped, a la Haskell necklaces, by wavy gilt discs, and have gilt seed beads in between.The necklace has a hook clasp on one end, and a baroque extension chain on the other.The necklace measures 19" long. The pendant has a 1 3/4" drop and is 1 1/2" wide.The pendant sits on a double gilt filigree base (much like a Haskell). It is stamped Original by Robert within a cartouche shaped like an artist's palette.Our necklace is in overall very good to excellent condition. All the faux pearls are glossy and with most of the nacre intact. The pate de verre elements are in fabulous condition, and the crystals are glittery. The gilt metal portions are rich in hue and have little visible verdigris.
