Description
This collection includes an assortment of vintage costume jewelry brooches and pins featuring various motifs, including floral sprays, botanical leaves, butterflies, a small insect, and a carved bird. The pieces are constructed from base metals with gold-tone, silver-tone, and antiqued finishes. Decorative elements include multi-colored rhinestones in clear, red, purple, and Aurora Borealis finishes, as well as glass and acrylic cabochons in faux pearl, black, and moonstone-style appearances. Notable designs include a large gold-tone floral spray with faux pearls, a red enameled flower with a scrolling stem, and a skeletonized leaf pavé-set with clear rhinestones. The styles are consistent with American costume jewelry from the mid-to-late 20th century, resembling designs by manufacturers such as Avon. One brooch includes a secondary safety chain. No maker marks are visible on the front surfaces.
Condition report:
The collection is in good vintage condition overall. There is minor wear to the plated surfaces and light oxidation on the metalwork consistent with age and use. The majority of stones and embellishments appear to be present. One heart-shaped brooch features a slightly off-center black cabochon. Standard pin-back mechanisms are present.
