Vintage Gold-Tone Vanity Accessories & Jewelry Assortment

Charming vintage assortment of gold-tone vanity accessories and costume jewelry pieces, including pill boxes, compact mirrors, necklaces, and decorative jewelry. The grouping features several mid-century style vanity items often used for powder, pills, or small personal keepsakes. Included are two rectangular pill boxes or compacts with hinged lids, a decorative gold-tone compact or mirrored case with ornate floral engraving and monogram detail, and a small folding mirror compact with textured exterior. The jewelry pieces include two delicate gold-tone chain necklaces, a wide mesh bracelet with adjustable chain clasp, a pair of vintage clip-on drop earrings, and a decorative brooch featuring multicolor rhinestones and faux pearl accents in a crescent design. Pieces like these were commonly part of women’s dressing table sets throughout the mid-20th century, combining both practicality and decorative appeal.

Measurements: Varying sizes typical of vanity accessories and jewelry; compact cases approximately 2–3 inches, bracelet adjustable, and necklaces standard wearable lengths.

Condition: Vintage condition with visible wear consistent with age, including surface patina, light scratching, and finish wear typical of gold-tone accessories from this era. Hinges and closures appear present. Small crack in one mirror. See photos for details.

Historical Note: Gold-tone vanity accessories and costume jewelry became especially popular during the 1940s–1970s, when compact mirrors, pill boxes, and decorative brooches were commonly carried in handbags or displayed on dressing tables. Many pieces were produced in ornate engraved designs intended to mimic fine jewelry and luxury accessories at a more accessible price point.

Estimated Value: $40–$120 for the grouped lot depending on maker and condition.
