A collection of sterling silver and white metal jewellery comprising several necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. The group includes a curb link chain necklace featuring a cross pendant pavé-set with small colourless stones and a central gold-tone metal X motif, with a teardrop-shaped tag at the clasp marked 925. Three curb link bracelets are present: a heavy gauge bracelet featuring an end cap marked 925 and ITALY; a mid-weight bracelet with a plain identification plate and a clasp marked 925 in an oval cartouche; and a thinner bracelet with a heart-shaped tag marked 925. Other items include a mariner or anchor link necklace, a loose bright white metal curb chain, and an openwork Celtic knot brooch. A sunburst style brooch is set with fifteen white round pearls of various sizes, with the reverse bearing a rectangular plaque marked STERLING. The pieces are constructed from cast and linked components with various clasp mechanisms including lobster claw and bolt ring styles.
Condition report:
The collection exhibits varying degrees of surface wear and significant tarnish, most notably on the reverse of the pearl sunburst brooch (photo 12) and the links of the necklaces (photo 1). Minor surface scratches and abrasions are visible on the metal surfaces, particularly on the identification plate of the curb bracelet (photo 3) and the end caps of the heavy bracelet (photo 6). The pearls appear to be securely set, and the stones in the cross pendant appear intact (photo 9).
