Lot of 20 Assorted Vintage Costume Jewelry Brooches and Lapel Pins

This collection consists of approximately 20 miscellaneous costume jewelry pieces, featuring a variety of small-scale brooches and lapel pins. The materials appear primarily to be base metals with gold-tone and silver-tone finishes, some featuring enamel accents, synthetic pearls, and rhinestones. Notable motifs include sentimental themes such as a 'Grandma' script pin with dangling charm elements, a 'Mom' heart pin, and various celestial shapes like a blue faceted star. Figurative pieces are prominent, including a black and white enameled dog, a grand piano, a clown with a pointed hat, and a small lighthouse. The construction varies from cast metal to stamped forms, typical of mass-produced costume jewelry from the late 20th century (circa 1970s–1990s). The condition across the lot appears used but fair; there is visible surface wear, minor tarnishing on the metallic finishes, and some potential loss of luster on the faux pearl elements. No high-end designer signatures are immediately visible from the front view, suggesting these are novelty or gift-market items. The craftsmanship is standard for commercial costume jewelry, utilizing basic pin-backs and clutch back attachments for the smaller lapel-style pieces.
