A collection of costume jewellery featuring a variety of necklaces, bracelets, bangles, and earrings displayed within two clear acrylic organiser cases and on two padded display pillows. The assembly includes necklaces in various lengths and styles, featuring amber-coloured resin beads, faux pearls, and multi-coloured faceted crystals, including one piece with a large crystal-encrusted seated deer or ibex pendant. A group of bangles in various finishes, including enamel, twisted wire, and snake-print textures, is housed within the acrylic drawers alongside an assortment of earrings and brooches. The collection includes eight bracelets displayed on pillows; four on a black leather-effect pillow featuring animal head motifs, a Greek key pattern, and rhinestone-set tennis styles, and four on a blue corduroy-effect pillow featuring textured curb, gate, and stylized bird motif links. The items are constructed from various base metals in yellow-gold, silver, and copper tones. No hallmarks, purity stamps, or maker’s marks are legible on the pieces. The lot comprises the jewellery and acrylic organisers only; the wooden surface shown in the images is not included.
Condition report:
The collection is in a used condition consistent with age. There is visible surface wear, tarnishing, and oxidation to the metal plating across multiple pieces, notably on the chain links and clasps (photo 1). Some faux pearls show surface abrasions and minor loss to the coating. The acrylic organisers exhibit light surface scratching and scuffing from use (photo 5). No missing stones are immediately apparent from the provided images, though some settings show minor debris accumulation.
