Description
An assortment of vintage and modern costume jewellery featuring a diverse range of styles and finishes. The collection includes a Silver link bracelet with openwork panels and blue and white enamelled floral motifs, alongside two thin Gold bangles. A multi-strand choker is heavily set with clear faceted glass rhinestones, complemented by a substantial bronze snake chain featuring a toggle clasp. The lot contains a pair of large Gold circular dome earrings with a textured woven-wire nest design and a large oval cameo brooch depicting a white profile on a grey ground. Further items include a Gold bird-shaped pin, a Silver ring, and various loose components and mismatched clip-on and hoop earrings. The pieces demonstrate mid-to-late 20th-century design influences, including mid-century glamour and Victorian-revival styles. The toggle clasp and earring backs bear small impressed characters which are not legible.

Condition report:
The items are in mixed as-found condition with visible signs of age and wear. There is noticeable tarnishing and plating wear across various base metal pieces, particularly on the Gold bangles and the snake chain (photo 1). Several chains and components are entangled (photo 2). The lot includes several single earrings and broken fragments rather than complete sets. There is a potential for missing rhinestones in the larger pavé pieces, consistent with the age of the collection.
