Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Vintage Costume


A Collection of Vintage Costume Jewelry Including Aurora Borealis Glass and Rhinestones - This collection features an assortment of mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry in various styles and materials. The group includes a long single strand of faceted glass beads with an aurora borealis iridescent finish and a strand of faceted clear glass beads with amethyst-colored glass accents. A single-strand necklace is composed of cream-colored round beads with an organic texture, possibly carved bone or celluloid. The collection contains a silver-tone horseshoe-shaped brooch pavé-set with clear baguette and round-cut rhinestones. A multi-strand piece features rows of clear rhinestones and grey-tone cabochons set in a darkened base metal. Also included is a three-piece suite featuring shell-shaped stud earrings and a matching shell-shaped pendant on a fine silver-tone chain, as well as a rectangular cream-colored pendant with a geometric metal inlay. Small metallic hang tags are attached to the clasps of the glass bead necklaces, but the characters are not clearly legible.
