A Collection of Vintage and Mid-20th Century Costume Jewellery - A collection of vintage and mid-20th-century costume jewellery presented in a silver-tone display case. The lot features an assortment of brooches, three bracelets, one necklace, a tie bar, and a pair of cufflinks. The items are constructed from various materials including gilt and silver-tone base metals, copper-tone metal, and enamel. Decorative elements include faceted glass rhinestones in clear, coloured, and aurora borealis finishes, alongside faux pearls, mother-of-pearl, ceramic, and petit point embroidery. Figural designs include a leaping leopard with black spots, a rhinestone-set swan, cats, and a large bumblebee brooch with a faceted amber-tone body and rhinestone-set wings. Floral and foliate motifs feature an enameled lily, gilt-metal rose and wheat-ear sprays, a multi-coloured ceramic flower bouquet, and a red enamel poppy. Geometric and traditional styles include a micro-mosaic link bracelet with floral patterns and a Celtic style circular brooch with an amber-coloured glass cabochon centre. A copper-tone rectangular relief brooch depicts a stag in a woodland setting. One brooch is formed as the initial N surmounted by a crown. No maker's marks or signatures are clearly legible on the pieces. One brooch is shown from the reverse, but the stamping on the metal is not legible as a name.
