Where to sell on consignment in UK?

Here's the "odd" necklace in a brooch. Does it look like yours was adapted? (You don't give size. Perhaps larger?)

I can see cross-hatched Schreger lines on the bracelet, which means it is ivory. It is from India, as is the necklace. The necklace is probably ivory as well. Those were fashionable in the 1970s.
Older Indian silver is rarely marked.

Souvenir from Toledo, damascene earrings. The maker's mark is for the clip, not the Toledo damascene work, and not important.

The other pieces are for the 'costume joolies'.

 

Thank you for all your help Debora. Sorry if it’s a silly question, but when you say it might be a marriage do you mean as in it has been pieced together, or is a marriage the type of necklace?

 

David is in the UK, so he probably doesn't know who Diana Vreeland is.

In spite of her Dutch surname she isn't known here either, I had to google her.

 

This was the at the top of the page when I googled Diana Vreeland:

It’s 45mm diameter. The loop that the chain attaches to looks original and there’s no marks where a clip would have been, so maybe it was available as both a brooch and a necklace?

 

Am I right in thinking I can’t sell ivory jewellery? Especially if it’s only from the 70’s?

 

The pendant and the chain don't share a design motif or appear to be the same color. To my eye, they are two separate costume jewelry pieces that were paired together at some point to create one piece. A "marriage" as it's called.

You're right.

Forgot these, Italian silver marks. Not 'oud', but 800, the silver fineness. Not 'cape', but C4 Fi, a Florence maker. Very cute, stones look like turquoise.

 

Seconded on both. Ivory is problematic on a good day, and today isn't a good day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either. You can give it away to someone or keep it, but not sell it. The clip-on silver earrings have Italian silver marks for sure.

 

Agree these are the most valuable pieces in the group.

The pearl set is interesting, that is one that stands out a bit for me. The others are nice quality, but in my opinion not enormous value, especially if you thinking of starting an Ebay account, might be more trouble than it's worth. Single stone MIRACLE brooches, if they sell, sell for around $10-15. The other pieces are nicer, but you should check comparable sold pieces as part of your research.

I'd want to know more about the French pearl set. On the back of this earring is this a reflection or finish loss? If just a reflection, maybe check all the pearls for any finish loss which would mean coated glass.

 

That is finish loss yes, I’ve only noticed it on the earrings but I do think most or possibly all of the pearls are glass. Looking at other Louis Rousselet Pearl necklaces it does seem that they’re generally coated glass. Someone mentioned that they may have mixed some real pearls in sometimes, and I thought that it’s possible the 7 larger irregular shaped pearls around the necklace could be real, and possibly some on the bracket that are a different colour to the rest.

 

I’d do Miracle as a lot of several.

 

Oh, and if you sell those silver clips, please message me.

 

The silver clip ons with turquoise stones? I’m open to offers on anything

 

Agree. Not enough value for me to get out of bed in the morning.

So far the chatelaine and bottle are where the only real value is.

They are good quality, and a very nice design. Nice stones too. Perfect for someone's hoarditorium.

 

"Hoarditorium" I'm laughing!

It’s very apt. Trust me on this.
