A collection of vintage costume jewellery, primarily consisting of brooches alongside a pendant and hair accessories. The group features various styles including figural, floral, and geometric designs. Figural pieces include a silver-tone high-heeled shoe accented with clear rhinestones, a textured gold-tone bird, and a smaller bird brooch featuring red and green stone accents. A Victorian revival style cameo brooch is included, featuring a white female profile in relief against a dark ground, enclosed within a double border of faux pearls.
The collection also contains a variety of floral and foliate motifs, such as a gold-tone maple leaf brooch with a centrally set faux pearl, a floral spray with white petals and green enamel leaves, and a slender gold-tone bar brooch with multicoloured enamel floral detailing. Geometric and abstract pieces include a large circular openwork brooch in the Art Deco style set with clear rhinestones, and a large silver-tone pendant with scrolling openwork and an open centre. Other items include a dark oval-shaped brooch with intricate metalwork in the marcasite style and a wirework floral hair clip. One item remains within a small plastic grip-seal bag. The pieces are constructed from gold-tone and silver-tone base metals and decorated with clear and coloured glass rhinestones, faux pearls, and enamel.
Condition report:
The items are in good vintage condition showing signs of age-appropriate wear. Visible tarnishing and surface oxidation are present, particularly on the silver-tone pendant and the dark oval brooch. Most decorative stones and faux pearls appear to be intact and present, though some surface abrasions are visible on the metal finishes.
