Description
This extensive collection of vintage costume jewellery features an array of necklaces, brooches, and accessories. The pieces are primarily constructed from gold-tone and silver-tone base metals, incorporating a variety of materials such as abalone shell, enamel, faux pearls, and glass beads. The beadwork includes multi-strand compositions with faceted and smooth elements in vibrant green, pink, and orange hues. Notable designs include botanical and faunal motifs, as well as a small rectangular locket or pillbox with floral decoration. One component is clearly stamped with the hallmark MAGRIP. The assembly showcases various manufacturing methods including filigree, casting, and prong-setting for various cabochons and stones which appear to be glass or synthetic. No scale is available for weight, and individual measurements are not recorded.
Condition report:
The lot is offered in fair to good condition, exhibiting wear, surface scratches, and oxidation consistent with the age of vintage costume pieces. Some necklaces are tangled, and given the bulk nature of the collection, some individual items may require minor repair or have missing stones.
