Hello, I ran out of time and light today so my pics do not show the beauty of this set but will try again. I picked up some fabulous Jewelry while living in Houston Tx but sold a lot of fabulous jewelry too. One Haskell piece went the Haskell Shop in London. When, I find the photo will share because it was so beautiful. Oh, how I miss that necklace!

The pics do not do this set justice. Pics do not show the brilliance of the crystals in this Haskell set will try again tomorrow.
So beautiful...really one of the prettiest Haskells I've ever seen! Thanks for posting these pics.
Absolutely divine. Actually, that doesn't even come close but I can't find any other words.
Thank you so much. I wanted to save one really nice set for my 7 year old niece when she gets a bit older. She has her on sense of style at this age and I am very pleased with that since her Aunt Jan has her own eclectic fashion style (I think it scares her mom)! I am going to try to add a few more pieces when I get caught up with some accounting. Thanks again. JW
Hi JW,
Your niece is one lucky girl! If she decides she doesn't want it after all, let me know ;D
