A couple of months ago, I saw a beautiful flower-shaped gold and blue enamel forget-me-not brooch on IG and couldn't stop thinking about it. The gold work was so detailed and the enamel was in near perfect shape, and there was the sweetest OMC in the center of the petals. I was on ban island at the time and tried my best to resist, but after 2 days I just had to buy it. When I received it, it honestly looked even better than the pictures online. I love wearing it to the office when I have a dark colored top to really make it pop. There is even a hook where I can hang some charms off the bottom, though I haven't tried yet.
Fast forward about 4 weeks and I was browsing an antique jewelry store's website looking for chains and other small things. I looked through the brooch section and found the sweetest little crescent shaped gold brooch with blue enamel forget-me-nots. It looked really similar to the style of my Krementz brooch and the website description did not mention any brand names, but in one of the photos of the back, I thought I saw the top of the Krementz logo. After like another 2 weeks of thinking about it, I decided to purchase it and requested that it be modified so it could be worn as a pendant.
I've just received the finished converted pendant today and am pretty pleased with how it came out, and can definitely confirm it is a Krementz piece! There is a little damage to one of the blue petals, but it is otherwise so dainty and cute.
I love that I can wear it East-West or North-South
And here are both of them together!
I actually found a 3rd gold & enamel forget-me-not bar brooch that I am 99% is also Krementz. I'm really tempted to get it, but it is like 3x the price of the crescent (but also double the width and height) so I'm still debating internally. For now though, I'm happy to have two pieces that I can wear together!
