Bidspirit auction | Two Vintage Gold-Tone Costume Jewellery
Two Vintage Gold-Tone Costume Jewellery Brooches Including a Cameo and a Faux Pearl Bow - This lot comprises two pieces of vintage costume jewellery. The first is an oval cameo brooch featuring a classical relief profile of a woman in a cream colour, set against a mottled reddish-orange ground. The cameo is likely of moulded resin construction and is housed within an ornate, multi-tiered gold-tone metal frame with concentric borders of textured foliate patterns and rope-twist detailing. The second item is a large ribbon-style bow brooch with two loops and trailing tails. The gold-tone metal surface displays a decorative textured basketweave finish, with the borders accented by small, inset faux pearls. The reverse of the bow brooch features a horizontal pin stem and a small rectangular maker's mark or cartouche, although the characters are not clearly legible.
