Lot 45:
A Collection of Estate Costume Jewelry Including Swarovski Elements and Rhinestone Brooches
Description
A collection of vintage and contemporary costume jewelry comprising multiple necklaces, brooches, and earrings in various metal finishes and materials. The assortment features a gold-tone and silver-tone variety, with notable pieces including a large spray-style brooch set with faceted amber, yellow, and red rhinestones. One pair of post earrings remains on its original retail card, which features printed text including Pure Allure, Crystal Collection, made with SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS, and Hypo-Allergenic.
The collection includes approximately twelve necklaces of varied construction: a faux-pearl strand with a gold-tone clasp, a gold-tone twisted rope chain, a fine chain featuring a carved green stone fish pendant, several fine link chains in both silver and gold tones, a locket or magnifying glass pendant, and a strand of orange beads with gold-tone link spacers. Other highlights include a large copper-tone circular brooch with embossed floral and scrollwork designs, and a bird-shaped pendant/brooch set with clear rhinestones and a large red pear-shaped central stone.
Additional items consist of a circular gold-tone pendant or calendar charm bearing the radial text LOVE YOU and ALL, a bar-style lapel pin accented with a small pearl, and various loose earrings including dark brown marbled oval clip-ons and orange teardrop dangles. Materials across the lot include base metals, faceted glass, plastic/resin beads, and potential semi-precious stone.
Condition report:
The items are in used estate condition. Several chains are tangled. Metal finishes show typical surface wear, minor oxidation, and light scratches consistent with age and use. Some earrings are mismatched or present as singles. The rhinestone spray brooch appears to have all stones intact from the photograph, though settings should be inspected. The Swarovski earrings appear unused on the original card.
