A black faceted bead necklace is included, bearing a metal tag with the CORO maker’s mark.

Decorative brooches and pins comprise a green enamelled scroll design, a white baroque pearl pendant, two gold-tone leaf-shaped pins, a silver-tone Scottie dog pin, and a small porcelain flower pin. Notable earrings include a pair of large circular clip-on pieces with purple cabochon centres and black borders. The collection incorporates several commemorative enamelled pins representing the flags of the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada. A militaria highlight is a British WWII-era campaign star medal with its original red, white, and blue ribbon; the central medallion depicts the monogram of King George VI. Other objects include a long silver-tone spoon, a silver-tone C-shaped element, and multiple silver-tone chains. The items are constructed from a variety of yellow and silver-tone base metals, glass, and enamel.
