Floral designs are prominent, featuring a green enamelled leaf, a cluster brooch with iridescent pink rhinestones, and a spray brooch depicting white edelweiss and blue flowers. An oval brooch contains a blue insert with a white floral design in the Essex crystal style. Other forms include a silver-toned guitar? / lute?, a rhinestone-set love knot with a hanging bow, and various foliate and geometric openwork designs. Several pieces incorporate pearl? and rhinestone accents throughout. The reverse of the guitar brooch features a textured finish, though no legible maker’s marks or signatures are present on the items.
