A collection of assorted jewellery and decorative objects, including silver-toned and gold-toned items.

Included is an ornate openwork rectangular frame with pierced foliate and lattice-work motifs. A silver-toned napkin ring exhibits a pierced quatrefoil design; hallmarks are present to the interior but are not clearly legible. The collection further includes two oval engraved lockets, a gold-toned band ring, and an Art Deco style marcasite-set brooch with a central blue gemstone. Also present is a gold-toned bar brooch with a floral motif and a large oval shell cameo pendant depicting the Three Graces within a twisted rope border. A strand of white pearls and a copper-alloy coin complete the group. Metal purities are unverified; items appear to be a mix of silver, silver plate, and base metals.
