An assortment of costume jewellery comprising brooches, pins, and clips in a variety of styles. The collection includes floral, foliate, geometric, and figurative designs. The items are primarily constructed from base metals with gold-tone, silver-tone, and bronze-tone finishes. Decorative elements feature a variety of settings, including pavé, claw, and channel-set faceted glass stones in multi-coloured hues such as amber, blue, red, green, and clear. Also included are turquoise-coloured cabochons, faux pearls, and decorative enamel work. Specific motifs include a large silver-tone scrolling filigree brooch of abstract foliate design, a gold-tone leaf-shaped brooch set with faceted amber and yellow-toned stones, a large circular openwork brooch densely set with multi-coloured faceted stones, and an enamel brooch in the form of a blue iris. The lot also contains souvenir enamel pins, one featuring a floral bouquet with a banner inscribed M. DI CAMPIGLIO and another figurative pin depicting a man in traditional dress with a banner inscribed RIVA DEL GARDA. One circular bronze-tone brooch has a white adhesive label attached with the handwritten characters U846. Pin mechanisms appear to include standard hinged pins with safety catches or C-clasps. No specific maker marks or hallmarks are visible.
Condition report:
The collection is in overall good vintage condition. Some items show minor surface wear, light scratches, or oxidation to the metal plating consistent with age and use. Several pieces may have missing or dull stones. Pin mechanisms appear functional but have not been individually tested for tension or security.
