Lot 613: A Collection of Vintage Costume Jewellery in an Oval Vanity Case
An assortment of mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewellery presented in a brown faux-leather oval vanity case. The collection comprises various styles of clip-on earrings and a brooch. Items include a large gold-tone openwork butterfly brooch accented with clear rhinestones, a pair of circular clip-on earrings with a leopard-print finish, and multiple pairs of textured gold-tone and silver-tone earrings. Settings include clear rhinestones, green glass cabochons, and simulated pearls. The group contains retro-style red and orange plastic circular earrings and black and white patterned pieces. One large gold-tone earring features a raised central logo consisting of four interlocking geometric shapes arranged in a square. The brown faux-leather case is oval in form with a hinged lid containing a rectangular mirror and a gathered cream fabric pocket. The interior is lined in cream fabric and partitioned into six storage compartments. Marks are present on the clips of several pieces; one gold-tone earring bears a raised geometric logo, and a silver-tone earring clip shows impressed characters that are not legible.
