Lot 686: A Collection of Ten Vintage Mixed-Metal and Rhinestone Costume Jewellery Brooches
A collection of ten vintage mixed-metal and rhinestone costume jewellery brooches, representing various styles from the mid-to-late 20th century. The group includes a large floral brooch featuring light pink enamelled petals with black painted edges and a central cluster of pink faceted rhinestones, alongside a modernist copper-tone brooch with scrolled ends, a textured heart motif, and interlocking rings. A rectangular gold-tone filigree panel brooch is set with multicoloured glass stones and imitation pearls, while a circular silver-tone wreath brooch is decorated with faceted black stones. The collection also features a stylised multi-petaled gold-tone flower, a black resin disc with applied pink roses, a novelty plastic face brooch with a yellow fabric headwrap, a high-polish gold-tone swirling pinwheel, a filigree leaf accented with a single imitation pearl, and a delicate gold-tone flowering sprig. The pieces are accompanied by a printed white auction lot tag reading HCP Auctions South West Lot 686 www.hcpauctions.net, and the filigree panel brooch bears a handwritten white string tag reading £5.00.
