This lot comprises a collection of mid-20th-century costume jewellery. The first set is a double-strand faux pearl necklace featuring approximately uniform beads, secured with a base metal box clasp set with clear round-cut rhinestones. This is accompanied by a pair of matching clip-on earrings, each designed as a central faux pearl within a border of clear rhinestones. The second item is a single-strand graduated necklace of translucent glass beads, exhibiting an iridescent blue and orange play of light characteristic of opalite glass, finished with a simple metal clasp. The third component is a floral suite consisting of a brooch and matching clip-on earrings. These pieces are crafted from hand-painted ceramic or porcelain in the form of pink roses with green leaves. The floral set is presented in a vintage textured brown case with a mirrored interior. All metal components appear to be base metal with gold-toned or silver-toned finishes. No hallmarks or maker’s marks are visible on the pieces.
Condition report:
The faux pearl necklace and earrings show minor surface wear and occasional loss to the pearlised coating consistent with age. The opalite glass necklace displays significant fraying to the thread near the clasp and requires restringing. The ceramic floral set appears largely intact, though delicate edges may have minute abrasions typical for this material; the presentation box shows wear to the exterior and hinges.
