Portrait Charms Appraisal

Three Queen Elizabeth II Portrait Charm Bracelets/Necklace Components

The image displays three antique or vintage-style charm bracelets, possibly intended as necklaces or necklace components, each featuring a linked chain and a circular medal or coin-like pendant. The chains appear to be made of a bronzed or antiqued brass-tone metal, exhibiting a dark, aged patina consistent with exposure or intentional finishing. The linking style varies; the leftmost chain appears to be a tightly woven foxtail or braid chain, while the other two have more open, classic curb-link or rolo-link designs. All chains show some degree of oxidation and darkening in the crevices, contributing to their aged appearance. Each circular pendant is attached to its respective chain via a small jump ring. The pendants themselves are approximately the size of a small coin and feature a raised relief portrait of a female figure, likely Queen Elizabeth II, given the visible inscription 'QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SEC'. The details on the pendants are somewhat obscured by the patina and resolution but suggest a classical profile bust. There are visible signs of wear, including surface scratches and darkening, particularly on the raised areas of the pendants. The overall condition suggests moderate use and age, with the patina being a significant characteristic rather than a flaw. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, indicative of mass production rather than artisanal work. These items likely date from the mid-to-late 20th century, consistent with the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and the depicted coin design style. They could potentially be souvenir items or fashion jewelry from that era.
