Original Message:   Still not convinced these are Chinese
They just don't look like Chinese export jewelry. Yes, some of the beads may be Chinese...or from India...or Japan...or Bohemia.

If Miriam Haskell was able to collect an assemblage of beads for her "oriental" pieces from the 1930s, so could someone in any of the other costume jewelry manufacturing places of Europe or New Jersey.

As you say, whether she was inspired by these necklaces to create her own versions, or if these are knock-offs of Haskell designs seems to be an open question.

So we have 3 specimens of an odd blown glass beads that appears only in these necklaces.

I remain puzzled.
