The earrings feature oval amber-colored glass stones in gold-tone bezel settings. Also included is a pendant on a black cord, packaged in a cardboard and plastic hanging pack labeled Enchanted Planet. The pendant features a circular sun and moon motif in yellow and green.
The assortment includes two boxed jewelry sets: one black box containing a pair of silver-tone snowflake-shaped stud earrings set with clear rhinestones, featuring a card titled A Snowflake is an Angel’s Kiss; and one blue box containing a silver-tone necklace with a yellow enameled floral pendant, featuring a card with a poem beginning Each snowflake is unique, it’s true.
Bracelets in the collection comprise a wide copper-tone cuff with embossed avian and floral patterns, two gold-tone hinged bangles, one silver-tone hinged bangle, an ornate silver-tone filigree cuff with foliate details, a multi-row cream faux pearl beaded bracelet with gold-tone spacers, and a heavy silver-tone bangle featuring a large black glass or stone cabochon with surrounding floral relief.
Necklaces include a long silver-tone chain decorated with open-work leaf charms, textured discs, and turquoise-colored beads, as well as a multi-strand beaded necklace with polished stones in shades of green, blue, pink, and red. Several fine-link chains are present, one featuring a red stone pendant.
Earring pairs include gold-tone studs with cream faux pearls, carved bone-colored resin or bovine bone shaped like elephants, silver-tone drops with three circular green stones, and large oval cream-colored open-work clip-ons. Additional items include a star-shaped brooch with a brown and black swirl pattern, a gold-tone sunburst brooch with a central faux pearl and black enamel, and a small gold-tone pocket watch on a chain with a white dial and Roman numerals.
Condition report:
The jewelry is in generally good vintage condition. Visible tarnish and oxidation are present on the copper-tone cuff, the ornate silver-tone filigree cuff, and the long leaf-motif necklace. The silver-tone finish on the leaf necklace shows surface wear and dullness. The faux pearls and enameled surfaces on the floral pendant and starburst brooch appear intact without significant losses. The Enchanted Planet packaging shows minor wear to the cardboard edges. All rhinestones in the snowflake earrings appear to be present.
