Assorted Jewelry Appraisal

Assorted Collection of Bangles and Bracelets

This image displays a collection of assorted bangles and bracelets, housed within two grey, perforated plastic bins that appear to be stacked or placed side-by-side inside a cardboard box. The collection is diverse, featuring a variety of styles, materials, and colors, suggesting a mix of modern and vintage pieces. Observable materials include various metals (gold-tone, silver-tone, possibly sterling silver), wood, Lucite or other plastics, and possibly some with fabric or enamel detailing. Some bangles are intricately designed with twisted metal, beaded textures, or studded accents, while others are smooth and monochromatic. A stack of gold-toned bangles, some with textured surfaces, is visible in the upper right bin, indicating a 'stacking' style popular in various eras. The lower bin showcases a wider range of designs, including square or geometric Lucite bangles in brass-tone metal frames, chunky wooden bangles, and opaque plastic bangles in hues like cream, pink, and amber. One prominent piece in the lower bin is a substantial dark brown or black bangle, possibly wood or Lucite, with an ornate silver-toned metal embellishment. Another is a silver-toned metal cuff or hinged bracelet with a textured or ribbed surface. Condition-wise, most items appear to be in good, wearable condition, though some show signs of wear consistent with pre-owned jewelry, such as minor surface scratches, slight tarnishing on metals, or rubbing on plastic surfaces. No significant damage like breaks or large chips is immediately apparent. The craftsmanship ranges from simple, mass-produced pieces to more ornate, potentially artisanal designs. Given the mix of styles (e.g., chunky Lucite, multi-metal bangles, carved wood), the collection likely spans several decades, from mid-20th century to contemporary, with 'Modern and vintage' being an apt description. The presence of varied styles, including some resembling those produced by brands like Napier, Monet, or Trifari (though no specific maker's marks are visible), indicates a selection of fashion-oriented jewelry.
