An Assortment of Vintage and Antique Costume and Hardstone Jewellery - A mixed collection of costume and ethnographic jewellery comprising multiple necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and brooches. The assembly includes strands of red branch coral, graduated green hardstone beads, turquoise-coloured beads, and carnelian or agate strands. Notable pieces include a wide silver-tone cuff bracelet featuring a central openwork geometric medallion, a gold-tone bangle with green and black inlay, and a woven black glass bead bracelet. The pendants include a rectangular green hardstone plaque with a silver-tone metal emblem depicting a seated figure, an engraved silver-tone locket, a gold-tone medallion with heraldic motifs, and various charms including heart and fish designs. A large faceted stone with labradorescence is set within a metal brooch frame. The collection also contains a large silver-tone safety pin brooch and a small brass mechanical fitting. Various stamps and marks are visible on the reverse of the pendants and the interiors of the bangles, though none are legible as a maker name; the gold-tone medallion bears symbols rather than text.
