Interesting fact: * Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper, hence the "925" hallmark. * Vintage costume jewellery was often created to emulate fine jewellery and experienced a boom in popularity from the 1920s through the 1960s, featuring diverse materials and innovative designs. Use: This varied lot is ideal for collectors of vintage jewellery, or for individuals seeking unique accessories or components for creative projects.
