A collection of assorted contemporary and vintage costume jewellery and accessories contained within a grey plastic storage bin. The lot comprises a diverse assortment of necklaces, bracelets, and pendants constructed from various materials including gold-tone and silver-tone base metals, faceted glass beads, faux pearls, polychrome plastic and resin spheres, heart-shaped wooden beads, and woven leather elements. Notable pieces include a large silver-tone filigree flower pendant and multiple turquoise-coloured beaded strands. The group is accompanied by two polished wood-finish jewellery boxes, one red leatherette presentation box with a gold-tooled border, and one black jewellery box marked with gold-printed characters reading “D A B E L I N E”. Also included is a white textile drawstring pouch, a white card tag showing the letters “P R A”, and a commercial battery pack marked “R A Y O V A C”. The collection represents a variety of mid-to-late 20th-century and contemporary styles ranging from chunky bohemian beaded pieces to delicate metallic designs.
