Mixed Metal Tone Religious Jewellery Collection featuring Enamel Crucifix, Rosaries, and Devotional Pendants
Description
This collection of vintage religious jewellery comprises an assortment of necklaces, rosaries, and pendants. The lot features various crucifixes and crosses in yellow and white-tone metals, including examples with mother-of-pearl inlays and intricate multi-coloured cloisonné-style enamelling. Notable pieces include a rosary with faceted clear aurora borealis glass beads, a secondary rosary with light blue beads, and a large two-tone circular medallion depicting a guardian angel. The collection also contains several die-struck devotional medals and a small yellow-tone cross which appears to be set with small clear colourless stones. Construction techniques include fine-link chains, bead-on-wire assembly, and cast metalwork. No hallmarks or purity stamps are visible; metals appear to be base metal or plated. Weight and specific measurements are not available.
Condition report:
The items exhibit varying degrees of surface wear, tarnish, and oxidation consistent with vintage age and regular use. Some minor abrasions are visible on the glass beads and enamel surfaces. All components appear to be present, though fine links and clasps have not been individually tested for tension.
