Large Assortment of Vintage to Modern Costume Jewelry Including Seed Beads, Faux Pearls, and Pendants
Description
A large collection of assorted vintage and contemporary costume jewelry featuring a wide variety of materials and styles. The grouping includes a multi-strand necklace of green and brown seed beads, a black seed bead necklace with multicolored geometric accents, a long strand of faceted red glass beads, and a strand of off-white faux pearls. Several metal chains in silver-tone and gold-tone finishes are present, along with a black cord necklace featuring tiered black beads and a beaded strand with earth-toned tiger’s eye and faceted glass beads.
Bracelets in the lot consist of a multi-colored seed bead wrap bracelet, a plain silver-tone metal bangle, and a black beaded stretch bracelet featuring a metal turtle-shaped charm. Notable pendants include a large round copper-tone medallion with embossed figures, a rectangular green abalone-style pendant, and a blue composite stone pendant comprised of four rectangular sections. A silver-tone rectangular pendant is present, featuring an engraved inscription that reads Guardian Angel watch over me. Also included is a gold-tone ladybug-shaped locket or pillbox attached to a chain.
A small white cardboard box contains approximately six to eight rings, including simple bands and rings set with glass cabochons. Earring examples include silver-tone drop earrings with clear faceted stones and a pair of gold-tone hoop earrings. A small green-toned floral brooch is visible near a loose red heart charm. A small metal tag is attached near the green beaded necklace, but the characters are not legible as a name.
Condition report:
The jewelry collection is presented in a heavily tangled state as seen in the primary overview photograph. Several metal chains and beaded strands are knotted together, which will require careful separation. The faux pearls show visible surface scuffing and loss of luster. The green beaded multi-strand necklace exhibits irregular tension and stretching in the thread. Visible tarnish and surface wear are present on many of the base metal components, particularly on the silver-tone bangle and the ladybug charm. A loose red heart-shaped charm is detached from its original setting or chain.
