A tribute to brooches and pins

My newest...

Did you see the horseshoe pin worn by Princess Charlotte to the Queen's funeral today? She wore it inverted, but it's very similar to yours, @Catmom.

I did see it. It's supposed to be worn the way she had it so that the good luck doesn't "fall out of it". That's how I wear it when I have it on too. Beautiful brooch and Princess.

I should add this one. It's rapidly becoming my favorite as it's so versatile. Vintage Art Deco Diamond and Tsavorite brooch worn only at Christmas then passed down to someone who never wore it and then traded in to my jeweler for 2 diamond bands. Needless to say it gets much more wearing time these days!

My grandma likes jewerlies and gets them custom-made. This was one of her brooches I used to fiddle around as a kid and she gave it to me with the matching earrings. Didn't know they were diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires until I grew up.

Not sure how to match the style so I just fiddle around with them still once awhile

Oh that brooch is fabulous! Try wearing it on a chain by running a sturdy gold necklace through the pin on the back, if you don't wear brooches of course.

Ahh! Never thought of that thank you I was pondering whether I should be taking them apart to repurpose them into an eternity band or something I love your idea!!! Will get a longer chain omg thank you!!

I picked these 2 up in Hong Kong in 2013 while I attended one of their jewellery shows.

Both are silver with pearls, one with Akoya and the other a blue Tahitian:
