Lot of 20 Vintage Costume Jewelry Brooches Flowers Bugs Birds + Monet Box
This is a great lot including:
1 Wendell August Forge Hammered Aluminum Brooch from the 1950s
2 Owls (Monet, Avon), both adorable. The Monet one has great detail, a beautiful finish, and green eyes. The Avon holds a solid perfume (empty) and is an icon of 1970s design.
2 Bug Pins: a Bee and a Cicada in jewel tone blue and green(unsigned), well made and detailed, probably 1990s.1 Scottie Dog – nicely made. The pin stop is marked Avon, but there are no marks on the dog pin itself.
1 hand-carved wood Swordfish with a glass eye (adorable, well made),
1 white enamel Seagull, very nicely done and detailed.
1 rhinestone Starburst / Sunburst, beautifully made and sparkly, Rhodium plated, pot metal, unsigned. It is an older brooch, maybe 1960s.
1 antiqued silver Spoon, set with a faux pearl, Baroque style.
1 large oval flower basket reminiscent of DeMario designs, unsigned. Very nice piece, intricately built, with some loss of enamel here and there, and one single flat back rhinestone missing, which is barely noticeable. Neither detracts from it.
1 made by hand, sculpted blue and silver rose, made of polymer, beautiful rendition.
1 French Jet or black rhinestone double bunch of grapes made of black enameled metal. It’s gorgeous.
1 huge, long rose on a stem brooch. The metal is light gold tone, there are rhinestones at the center of the rose, which is a light coral color with areas of yellow and light green leaves. It is 5″ long!
1 stylized flower from the early 50s Retro era in rose-y gold.1 Good Luck bar pin formed of green enamel clovers centered by a rhinestone set horseshoe.1 gold tone delicate flower basket set with five real garnets as flowers. The stones were tested and are not glass.
1 oval Regency-style brooch set with a large oval amethyst glass stone. The faux pearls lost their luster.
