Extensive Collection of Vintage and Contemporary Rhinestone Costume Jewelry, Fifty-Two Pieces - This comprehensive lot of approximately fifty-two pieces of assorted costume jewelry features a mix of vintage and contemporary styles. The collection is crafted primarily from silver-tone and gold-tone base metals. The pieces are extensively set with colorless and colored paste stones, commonly known as rhinestones, utilizing prong, pave, and bezel settings. The stones appear in various cuts, including round brilliant, baguette, marquise, and pear. A dominant characteristic is the heavy application of the iridescent Aurora Borealis (AB) coating on many stones, complemented by accent colors such as royal blue, emerald green, pink, amber, and coral. The lot includes fourteen necklaces, many being elaborate multi-strand rhinestone chokers and bib styles; ten bracelets and cuffs, including wide, heavily pave-set designs; ten brooches, featuring figural designs such as a blue rhinestone horse, floral motifs, and a large green starburst; and eight pairs of earrings, consisting of both clip-on and stud styles. No maker’s marks, purity stamps, or hallmarks are visible.
