Modern Jewelry Appraisal

Assorted Vintage and Modern Bangle and Bracelet Collection

This is a diverse collection of predominantly bangles and bracelets, housed within two rectangular, textured plastic bins nestled inside a cardboard box. The collection showcases a wide array of materials, styles, and periods, offering a snapshot of both modern and vintage costume jewelry. The upper bin contains a mix of metallic bangles in gold and silver tones, some featuring textured or braided designs. Notable pieces include a set of slender gold-colored bangles, some with twisted details, and wider bands in black and silver, several adorned with rhinestones or decorative studs. A large, smooth pink, possibly stone or resin, oval adornment is visible, accompanied by a flat, wide bangle with a geometric pink and white pattern. Many of these pieces appear to be made from plated metal, with some showing signs of wear consistent with age and frequent handling, such as minor scratches or plating loss on edges. Some bangles exhibit a shiny, polished finish, while others have a more brushed or matte appearance. The lower bin presents an equally varied assortment. Here, one observes a significant presence of bangles crafted from materials like Lucite, wood, and various resins. Colors range from translucent amber and opaque white to black, teal, and a soft blush pink. Several bangles are chunky and geometric, including hexagonal pink and white pieces, suggesting a modern aesthetic. There is a prominent, large, distressed silver-tone bangle featuring intricate filigree-like detailing, possibly a hinged bracelet. Also visible is a striking teal cuff bracelet with silver-tone accents. The collection includes various widths, from thin stackable bangles to wider statement pieces. Two gold-toned, open-cube display stands, likely for showcasing jewelry, are placed within this bin, hinting at a curated or retail origin for some items. While specific maker's marks like Napier, Monet, or Trifari are not discernible from the image, the variety of styles points to contributions from multiple designers or manufacturers across different eras, spanning from mid-20th century vintage to more contemporary designs. The overall condition appears to be good for most visible pieces, with some showing typical signs of gentle use or age appropriate patina.
