Where are my brooch lovers?

[RRfromR]

I'm so excited!!! I wanted a star and a bug one for ages so I kept looking and looking for something more affordable. So here they are. The butterfly is victorian with natural stones and pearls. I need to do a conversion for the star so I can w ear it as a pendant too.

@Daisys and Diamonds you are on the other side of the world! We're having a heat wave here, in the 100s, in mid Atlantic area.

Right here...and yours are gorgeous!

They're both so lovely!! I would love a star brooch/pendant, but have yet to find anything I like in my price range.

@lala646 that was my struggle. I'll keep my eyes open for you.

I’m here too, I love a good brooch! Yours are lovely finds Is the star platinum? Love the use of negative space!

 

[RRfromR]

one could have so much fun with that negative space, changing the look by the fabric worn under it, as its winter here im thinking different coloured winter coats

 

[Dreamer_D]

I love brooches but I haven’t indulged yet. I don’t know how they would work with my wardrobe. A silly lament.

I particularly love your butterfly.

 

[peachster]

Love brooches. I wear them very frequently.

I LOVE the bug. Tell us more about it

@RRfromR
Silver topped gold, with rose cut diamonds, my beautiful green bee. I actually purchased it as costume jewelry many moons ago when I first started my jewelry collecting. It has a few flaws (one ruby eye needs to be replaced with an actual ruby) but the enamel is in pristine condition and the rose cuts are beautiful!

*raises hand* MEGA brooch lover here. Those are so amazing!

 

[88_star]

The star is amazing!

 

[RunningwithScissors]

Super brooch fan here! I love everyone's! The butterfly and star have an antique loveliness. It's fun to imagine all the events they went to, the dresses worn with them. And @Pumpkin Sparkles 's are darling too! That pop of color in the coral leaf is scrumptious!

@RunningwithScissors
Thank you!
It’s actually carnelian, but looking at the picture I can see why you thought it was coral.. it’s just a pretty striped carnelian.

That makes sense. It's probably more durable being carnelian. Love that color!
