A collection of approximately 15 vintage costume jewellery brooches and pins, primarily featuring botanical and floral motifs. The lot includes a large silver-tone openwork wreath brooch set with four large faux pearls and brilliant-cut clear rhinestones; a stylized branch brooch with multi-coloured enamel flowers in rose, cornflower, and yellow; and a large gold-tone textured leaf brooch. Also present is a spray brooch with pink enamel leaves and a cluster of multi-coloured aurora borealis rhinestones, a bunch of berries/grapes brooch featuring faux pearls and clear rhinestones, and a large starburst floral-form brooch heavily set with tiered clear paste stones in a gold-tone mounting. Further items include two circular brooches featuring natural fur trim, one with a gold-tone textured centre and another with a deep red pom-pom centre; an oval silver-tone filigree brooch set with light blue glass cabochons; and a small boxed brooch featuring a printed floral motif on a white plaque set in a gold-tone bow-topped frame. Construction is primarily from base metals with gold-tone, silver-tone, and white-metal finishes. Mechanisms include standard pins with revolving safety catches, C-clasps, and one long bar pin. These items reflect popular costume jewellery styles from the mid-20th century, circa 1950s-1970s.
