Miriam Haskell by Frank Hess Chili Necklace

This vintage necklace features an array of detailed chilies interspersed between green and red tomatoes, all dangling from a bright green celluloid chain. This whimsical necklace was designed around the 1930s by Frank Hess for Miriam Haskell. Hess was a window dresser for Macy's, and in 1926 he partnered with the famed jewelry designer Miriam Haskell, where his keen eye earned him a position as head designer until the 1960s.
