Copper coloured chrysanthemum brooch by "Exquisite" of Solihull, Warwickshire,  England.

One of the series of 1960s Birthday Flower Brooches, Chrysanthemum for November.

and in its original box.  Box still has price sticker of 17/6d (17 shillings and 6 pence) attached to it.   

It's very unusual to find a vintage brooch with all its original packaging such as this one has.  

There is also a purple coloured version of this, but the copper one is rarer.  

Approximate size of brooch 2" wide by 2.5" long.  Box size 3.25" x 4.25" x 1" deep.

Matching pair of rhinestone/diamante brooches in the shape of sweetheart bows. These are most probably 1930s/1940s and are in great condition. The only very minor damage is that one of the brooches no longer has its safety catch, but still fastens securely with a C clasp.

Very ornate necklace in a gorgeous shade of blue Bohemian glass. Probably Edwardian. This is a real beauty.

This necklace needs a little TLC, as there are four of the small glass stones missing. I always reckon it's better to sell something in its original state, even if damaged, rather than to try and repair it.

Approximate length of main part of necklace is 15". The pendant section measures 2" across and just over 2" long at longest part.
