Huge Vintage Copper Jewelry Lot – 38+ Pcs – Matisse – Renoir – Kim – Copper Guild – Enamel – Modernist – Sets
This excellent lot is a windfall for collectors and dealers alike. It includes 48 pieces because the sets are counted as one.
This lot includes:
– 4 chain bracelets, including a newer one with charms and crystals, a hand stamped copper front panel link, a delicate double acorn link, and a very wide one with large links marked Austria and a maker s mark which is not identified. The last has a bit of oxidation.
– 3 wide cuff bracelets: one is marked Renoir, one has a silver tone geometric applique, one is engraved with a garland of flowers
-1 gorgeous open work Modernist Renoir clamper cuff or hinged cuff
– 1 clamper bangle (needs a bit of attention; clasp and hinge are fine)
– 1 cuff and clip-on earrings by Matisse, a gorgeous set with green and pink enameled cabochons
– 5 narrow Southwestern design Bell Copper style cuff bracelets (none signed by the maker, one marked Solid Copper)
– 1 mixed metal copper, silver-tone, and black matte enamel brooch and earrings set
– 1 round wood and copper brooch, the wooden circle dances. Not sure if that is by design
– 2 copper and enamel leaf form brooches, one signed Matisse Renoir and one signed Hh
– 1 adorable modernist fish brooch and screwback earrings marked Kim
– 2 large enamel on copper pendants. One is an abstract pattern enameled in an egg-shaped form, and the other is a large Ankh. Both have amazing abstract patterns.
– 2 enameled pendant necklaces, one smaller abstract swirl, the other a beautiful white bird in flight against a sky blue enameled background
– 2 chunky chain necklaces, one is a bold alternating link pattern, about 16mm wide, heavy, and 16 to 18 inches adjustable length. The other is a large box chain with hammered links and a fold-over clasp. It measures 6.5 mm wide and is 20 inches long
– 10 pairs of earrings: 4 are clip-ons (2 are signed Matisse Renoir, one is Kim, and 1 is Renoir, one is unsigned). 2 pierced ears (one has turquoise color cabochons, one has orange enamel), 3 are screw-backs (one is unsigned with turquoise color glass cabochon)
– 1 long custom link chain with a large triangular pendant necklace, 22 inches long. The pendant is 2 3/4 inches, including the bail
– 1 modernist copper and sterling silver egg form pendant necklace, 24 inches long, does not have a clasp, marked only Sterling Silver and Genuine Copper
– 1 Coppercraft Guild pendant necklace with leather cord. The gorgeous minimalist pendant is set with a black cabochon. The necklace looks unworn and arrives in the original box.
– 2 beautiful custom link necklaces, both signed Renoir and adjustable in length.
Please note these are vintage and pre-owned, and as such will have light signs of wear. They are in good to excellent condition with no damage. You may want to polish some, or just wear or resell as they are.
As a bonus, I have included a small bag of single copper earrings, not photographed. You may have the missing one, repurpose it, or resell it.
The total approximate weight is 3 pounds.
The value is much greater, as this collection was amassed over 18 years and is priced at approximately $10.00 per piece.
