Hello and welcome! Here is a lot of 10 Victorian Era and early 1900s jewelry. There is a little of everything such as opal, tested celluloid, enamel, and rhinestone. Nothing in this lot has been tested for precious metals. Top row of three from the left : first is an enamel 1 ½” pin. It has a square black, gold and red flower center that radiates outward into white and gold swirls. It ends with alternating black and red leaves on the outside. It has a non-locking C clasp that looks handmade . Next is the blue circle 7/8” glass. Inside the glass is a raised depiction of a flower and leaves. The rim is wire- work as well as its four round attachments. The glass is held in place both inside and out with wire. It is rather beautiful. This is not a pin, perhaps it was used for a ribbon necklace ornament? Last in the row is a pot metal Art Deco 1 3/8”x 1 1/4” brooch. Pictures didn’t do it justice as far as capturing the six folds of this bow. It is full of pave set rhinestones. The back is a non-locking C clasp. Next is an oval silver tone, 1 ½”x 5/8” opal pin. It has dogtooth bezel surrounding the stone and is open-backed. It has a non-locking C clasp. This pin is either silver or silver plated. It is gorgeous! Row of four: beginning with the gold tone circle pin. It is 1 1/8” in diameter, has a place for a picture and a thin plastic covering to protect photos. This pin has a smooth inner border with the outside edge made up of two intertwining ropes: one is smooth and the other is twisted. The back has four prongs to hold the photo in and this too appears to be a handmade pin and it is also a non-locking C clasp . Next is a tiny ½” diameter rhinestone circle buckle. It is gold tone and the stones are pronged. They are graying and still shiny. Next is very tiny gold tone pin that is decorated in flowers and scroll work. The bottom fastener is 7/16” and the pin insert is 5/16”. Last is a 1 1/16”x ¾” tested celluloid pin. I am not certain on the age of this one. It does say JAPAN on the back of it. It is beautifully detailed with one central lotus flower, several buds, another flower and detailed leaves. It too has a non- locking C clasp. Next is a bar pin with pearls and green stones. It is 2 1/8” long. The pearls are attached by wires and you can see them on the backside, but they are bent so as not to poke. This pin has a non-locking C clasp. Best for Last ! This is something I picked up from an elderly couple awhile back. They told me that it possibly dated to the Civil War. The fancy part is 21/4 long and ¾” wide. The rhinestones are a light blue gray and the facets are amazing. When I got this, it was BLACK and all I could see was the stones. I didn’t get around to finishing the back of it so it still looks nasty. The ornamentation is rather lovely. The horizontal bars move back and forth and over the middle plate. I do not know what this is, or how old it is, but if any of you do, I’d appreciate knowing too:>) GENERAL CONDITION: In some photos I rolled up a piece of my artist’s gummy eraser and used it to prop up a couple things for a better photo shot. Just wanted you to know what that odd gray thing was. Condition-as mentioned the mysterious bar has tarnish. I noticed bent pin backs on the white enamel pin and the celluloid pin and these can be fixed. There is also one pearl with finish loss. That is really all I noticed. Given the age of these items, generally speaking, the vast majority is in very good condition.
