Description

A collection of vintage small personal accessories, including three brooches/pins and a cased magnifying glass. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Mid-20th Century * Material: Gold-tone metal, enamel, ceramic, glass, plastic, cardboard, satin * Style: Costume Jewellery / Decorative Accessories * Items: Bee stick pin with purple faux gemstone, black and gold enamel peacock brooch, pink ceramic rose hat pin/brooch, and a cased gold-tone magnifying glass in a red "JEWELCHEST" box Condition: General wear consistent with age and use. Some tarnishing is present on the metal elements of the pins. The red box shows wear, scuffs, and minor structural compromise. Interesting fact: * Hat pins, like the ceramic rose example, were a common accessory from the late 19th to mid-20th century, essential for securing larger hats. * The mid-20th century saw a surge in costume jewellery, making fashion accessories accessible and allowing for diverse design expressions beyond precious metals. Use: Ideal for collectors of vintage accessories, or as decorative additions to a display.
