This collection consists of an assortment of costume jewelry brooches and pins featuring a variety of motifs and materials. Fauna-themed items include a large gold-tone dragonfly accented with clear and multi-colored rhinestones, a black enamel cat silhouette pin, and a textured peacock feather-style pin set with multi-colored rhinestones. Floral and botanical designs include a green enamel leaf, a gold-tone rose spray, a gold-tone leaf set with amber-colored navette stones, and a silver-tone floral pin featuring turquoise-colored cabochons. Figural and symbolic pieces include a silver-tone half-mask in the style of the Phantom of the Opera, an intricate silver-tone filigree cross, a small gold-tone hammer lapel pin, and an oval brooch with a transfer-print portrait of a lady in an Edwardian-style hat bordered by a blue frame. One gold-tone heraldic crest pin features the ER Royal Cypher for Queen Elizabeth II beneath a crown, surrounded by a blue enamel garter with the motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE. Geometric and abstract designs include a round silver-tone disk with a central black cabochon, a rectangular brass-tone bar pin with abstract relief, and several wreath-style pins, including one with blue rhinestones and an attached safety chain. Materials include various base metals in gold-tone, silver-tone, brass-tone, and pewter-tone finishes, embellished with faceted glass stones, rhinestones, faux pearls, and enamel work. Pin mechanisms include standard pin-backs, bar pins, and lapel pins. One bar pin features four hanging faux pearls.
