Vintage Finecostume Jewelry Appraisal

Assorted Vintage Jewelry Collection (11 Pieces)

This lot consists of 11 pieces of vintage jewelry, displayed on black velvet busts and a ring holder. The collection includes a variety of necklaces, rings, and a bracelet. On the left, a black velvet bust displays three necklaces: one features a vertical rectangular pendant with what appears to be a geometric or tribal design; another has a rough, unpolished turquoise-like stone pendant; and the third, a bolo tie-style piece, showcases a detailed silver-toned bird-like figure with blue accents, possibly enamel or stone inlay. The bird figure appears to be a stylized rendition. On the right, a second black velvet bust holds two necklaces: an upper, heavier chain necklace with interlocking oval links, likely silver or silver-plated, and a lower, longer chain necklace with an oval pendant featuring a carved or molded light brown, earthy-toned image, possibly a cameo or intaglio made from shell or stone, set within a decorative silver-toned bezel. The condition of the metal chains appears to be good with some signs of light wear and tarnishing consistent with age. Below the busts, a black velvet ring display holds five rings. While specific details are difficult to discern from the image, they appear to feature various stones and metal settings, including what looks like another turquoise-like stone on one, and possibly geometric or patterned designs on others. One ring has a dark, possibly onyx or obsidian, stone, another appears to have a cluster of smaller clear stones, and a third has a single larger blue or greenish stone. To the right of the rings, a vibrant orange-red graduated stone or shell bracelet is visible, along with a silver-toned brooch or pendant shaped like a feather or leaf, adorned with small blue and green stones, again possibly turquoise or similar natural stones. The overall condition of the pieces suggests they are vintage, with expected wear and patina. The pieces exhibit varied craftsmanship, from more rustic, natural stone aesthetics to intricate metalwork. The quantity and variety suggest a collection possibly from the mid to late 20th century, consistent with a vintage classification.
