Vintage Costume Jewelry "Junk Drawer" Lot | Rhinestones, Pearls & Brooches in Ball Mason Jar

Treasure hunters, upcyclers, and vintage fashion lovers will adore this packed "junk drawer" lot of colorful costume jewelry. Dating primarily from the 1960s through the 1990s (approximately 30 to 60 years old), this curated mix features a wide variety of wearable and craft-ready pieces.

Looking through the glass and at the top layer, you can easily spot several standout items, including a cheerful orange flower brooch accented with a tiny ladybug, chunky red and white retro beads, multiple strands of classic faux pearls, sparkling rhinestone chains, and gold-tone bow motifs.

The collection is housed in a clear glass Ball "Wide Mouth" mason jar. While Ball jars are iconic pieces of Americana, this specific logo style (without the trademark underscore) indicates it is a modern, mass-produced canning jar from the late 20th century or newer. Though the jar itself holds minimal standalone antique value (typically $1 to $2), it serves as a perfect, nostalgic display and storage vessel for this vibrant jewelry collection.
