Lot 17:
An Assortment of Vintage Costume Jewelry Brooches and Pendant Watch
Description
A collection of vintage costume jewelry featuring various motifs and materials. The lot includes a circular pendant watch set in an openwork base metal frame, decorated with various faceted glass beads in shades of red, amber, green, and clear. The watch face is square with a white dial and black Arabic numerals; the brand name printed on the dial is not legible. A carved bone-colored flower brooch is mounted on a gold-tone metal stem with two leaves and a single cream-colored imitation pearl. The assortment also features two oval cameo pins: one larger cameo with a white profile of a woman against a black ground set in a dark patinated decorative frame, and one smaller cameo with a similar profile against a mauve ground in a simple gold-tone bezel. The collection is completed by three gold-tone metal brooches: a classic stylized bow with a polished finish, a spray of two textured leaves set with imitation pearls, and a larger wheat-style floral spray set with multiple imitation pearls and small clear rhinestones.
Condition report:
The items are in good vintage condition overall. The large floral spray brooch has one small clear rhinestone missing from the lower-left stalk (photo 1). Minor surface wear and oxidation consistent with age are visible on the metal finishes, particularly on the dark frame of the black cameo (photo 1). The functionality of the pendant watch is unknown. No other chips or losses are visible to the beads, faux pearls, or cameo surfaces.
