Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Sterling Silver

A Collection of Sterling Silver Jewelry and Accessories - This assortment of sterling silver jewelry and accessories includes multiple rings, a necklace, and two pins. The items are predominantly crafted in white metal and feature several markings. A cluster-style ring and a fine curb link chain clasp are both marked STERLING. An eternity-style band set with small colorless stones is stamped with a hallmark resembling a stylized arrow or spearhead following the word STERLING. Another ring band is marked 925 and TOCO. A small, circular pin back is stamped STERLING along with a diamond-shaped mark. The collection includes a military veteran ring with a central insignia reading A.E.F. surrounded by a blue enameled border reading WORLD WAR VETERAN U.S.A. Also present is an Art Deco style ring featuring a square black onyx-type tablet with a central filigree insert set with marcasites or colorless stones. Further items include a ring with a single colorless stone, a simple band with chased floral ornamentation, a ring featuring a turquoise-colored cabochon in a knotted setting, and a red and white enameled shield-shaped pin marked C.P. LEADER on the front and stamped STERLING on the reverse. The chain necklace is of a fine curb link construction. Total weight: 29.95 grams (19.25 dwt) Chain section length: 7 inches Item widths: approximately 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches. The items are in antique condition with characteristics consistent with age. There is surface tarnish visible across the metal surfaces of all pieces, notably on the reverse of the shield pin (photo 5) and the interior of the ring bands (photos 10-13). The enameled surfaces on the veteran ring and the leader pin show light surface wear but remain largely intact (photos 1 and 4). The colorless stones in the cluster and eternity bands appear secure in their settings (photos 3 and 4). No major breaks or losses are visible in the filigree or chain links.
