An assortment of vintage costume brooches and pins, primarily of mid-century design. The lot includes two patriotic-style pieces featuring clear, red, and blue faceted glass rhinestones: one in the form of a royal tiara and the other a large openwork cross. A diamond-shaped brooch features intricate gilt-metal effect filigree set with a central marquise-cut blue glass stone and light blue accents. The collection also includes several cabochon-set pieces, including an ornate white metal brooch with a matrix turquoise? style stone, and a larger filigree example with a marbled blue and white glass cabochon surrounded by turquoise-coloured beads. Natural stone? elements appear in a modernist white metal brooch featuring an asymmetrical green stone and filigree leaf, a large blue-banded agate? cabochon in a claw setting, and a floral spray pin with petals fashioned from dark blue polished stones, likely lapis lazuli?. Further items include a leaf-shaped brooch with blue and green mottled enamel, an iridescent foil glass “faux opal” brooch, and a smaller translucent blue glass cabochon pin. No maker names or hallmarks are legible.
