An Assortment of Vintage Costume Necklaces and Earrings
Description
A collection of vintage fashion jewelry featuring several necklaces and pairs of earrings. The necklaces include a four-strand faux pearl strand with a silver-tone box clasp, a single strand of large uniform faux pearls, and a single-strand necklace composed of square amber-colored resin beads with black and white spacers on a gold-tone chain. The collection also features multiple strands of natural shell jewelry, including puka-style white shells and cowrie shells, a long strand of faceted blue and purple glass beads, and a beaded necklace with wooden and hand-painted porcelain accents.
The earrings consist of a pair of gold-tone clip-ons set with multi-colored rhinestones in a circular cluster, a pair of silver-tone dangle earrings with blue enamel triangles and bird motifs, a pair of floral-themed clips with green and brown enameled leaves and pink blossoms, and a single swirling gold-tone brooch or clip. Construction materials include base metals with gold and silver-tone plating, molded resin, glass, natural shells, and rhinestones. No maker marks or signatures are visible on any of the pieces.
Condition report:
The jewelry is in good vintage condition. There is minor surface wear and light tarnishing visible on the gold-tone metal components of the rhinestone clip earrings. Enamel work on the floral clips and blue dangle earrings appears intact. All strands of the necklaces are complete, and no stones appear to be missing from the rhinestone clusters. Shells show natural variations in texture and color.
