Description
A collection of mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewellery and accessories contained within a maritime-themed fabric-covered box. The rectangular box is divided into three compartments and features a cream fabric exterior printed with black nautical silhouettes of historical sailing ships and figures, in the style of the 1929 Sunday Afternoon Buckbee Brehm prints. The jewellery includes a large five-petaled green enamelled flower brooch set with a central cluster of iridescent Aurora Borealis rhinestones. The lot also contains a chunky bead necklace featuring large oval-shaped resin beads in dark red, amber, and green tones, including a tiger’s eye-style bead. Metalware includes a wide polished gold-tone hinged bangle with a decorative buckle motif, a silver-tone charm bracelet with a mother-of-pearl disc, and several gold-tone curb and fancy link chains. The collection is further comprised of a circular gold-tone filigree brooch and an assortment of gold-tone and enamelled clip-on and stud earrings. The pieces are unsigned costume items. An internal inventory label marked H 305-102 is present.
Brooch diameter: approx. 7cm.
