This lot comprises three pieces of vintage costume jewellery: a designer brooch, a French patent dress clip, and a hardstone pendant. The brooch is a Sarah Coventry design depicting a stylized owl, featuring a gold-tone textured body with an openwork filigree torso. The eyes are set with two black glass or plastic cabochons. The reverse is marked SARAH COV and is fitted with a hinged pin and rollover safety clasp. The second item is an oval-shaped gold-tone dress clip with an embossed central floral and leaf motif surrounded by a pierced scrolling border. The reverse features a large hinged double-prong clip mechanism. The third item is a rectangular pendant consisting of a dark green hardstone plaque, possibly nephrite jade, with an applied decoration. This decoration features a central carved pink rose, likely coral or a substitute, set on a gold-tone stem with three leaves, secured to the plaque by a single rivet visible on the reverse. The pendant is finished with a gold-tone suspension loop.
