Assorted Base Metal Vintage and Contemporary Costume Jewellery Collection featuring Faux Pearls and Rhinestones
Description
An extensive collection of assorted vintage and contemporary costume jewellery, comprising a wide variety of necklaces, bracelets, brooches, pendants, rings, and a decorative thimble. The items are primarily constructed from yellow and white base metals, appearing to be non-precious as no hallmarks or purity stamps are visible. The collection features a diverse array of materials including faux pearls, glass and plastic beads in various colours, wood beads, and multi-coloured rhinestones in different cuts and settings. Notable pieces within the lot include a large blue glass bead statement necklace, a cameo-style pendant depicting cherubs, several large floral-motif rhinestone brooches, and a link bracelet featuring colourful mosaic-style floral enamel work. Construction techniques observed include bezel and prong settings, cold enamel, and multi-strand beadwork. No maker’s marks were identified during inspection. Weight and measurements are not provided as the lot is currently unsorted.
Condition report:
The collection appears in varied vintage condition and is currently unsorted and tangled. Wear consistent with age is present across the lot, including surface scratches, some oxidation to the base metals, and potential minor stone loss.
