Fortnightly Auctions Of Antiques, Collectables, General Furniture and Effects. New Lots Added Daily.
This lot comprises a selection of vintage jewellery and personal accessories. The collection includes a plain yellow metal band, visually consistent with low-carat gold and weighing 1.07g. Also included is a silver-toned ring weighing 3.1g, featuring five channel-set clear round-cut paste stones in a white metal mount. A third ring features an oval, green translucent cabochon set in a decorative yellow metal mount with scrolling shoulders. Accessories include a small lidded box with a mottled tortoiseshell-effect finish, likely constructed from papier-mâché or celluloid, a plain metal stick pin, and a silver-toned metal slide. The yellow metal band is unmarked, and the silver ring exhibits characteristics consistent with sterling silver. The green cabochon ring is likely gilt base metal. Total weight of precious metal components (assuming gold/silver content) is approximately 4.17g. Valuation basis: prevailing market prices for scrap precious metals and recent auction results for mixed vintage jewellery lots.
Condition report:
The silver ring exhibits significant surface tarnish and oxidation, which may be removed with cleaning. The yellow metal band shows light surface scratches and signs of regular wear. The green stone ring has minor losses to the yellow finish on the band; the cabochon remains secure. The tortoiseshell-effect box shows rubbing and minor losses to the finish at the corners and edges, consistent with age. Stones in the silver ring appear intact but require cleaning to restore brilliance. The stick pin and slide are functional with light surface wear.
