Lot 336: A Collection of Costume Jewelry and Carved Hardstone Objects

A collection of costume jewelry and carved hardstone objects. The jewelry components comprise various necklaces, bracelets, brooches, rings, and earrings, fashioned from both silver-tone and gold-tone metals, adorned with faux pearls, clear rhinestones, and multi-colored faceted stones. Specific pieces include a ladies’ wristwatch with an expandable band, a large ornate brooch featuring a cluster of red, blue, and iridescent marquise-cut rhinestones, and several pearl-accented brooches and stud earrings. The jewelry is indicative of costume pieces, likely dating from the mid-20th to late-20th century. Complementing these are several carved pieces, notably two turtle figures (one light green, one dark), an irregularly shaped brown/amber-toned carving, and two flat circular discs: one light green with a central square aperture, reminiscent of an ancient Chinese ‘bi’ disc or coin, and another darker green with intricate openwork, all appearing to be crafted from jade or a similar hardstone.
