Hi all,

I had purchased a brooch and sent it to Grace, to be converted into a bangle. To say the least, it turned out beyond gorgeous.

Grace and her bench do amazing work. My mouth literally dropped open when I opened the box.

I had thought the brooch was art deco, but Grace said no, that it was Edwardian. I love it so much.

It is 2 carats of Old European and Rose cut diamonds and natural sapphires. Please excuse my ugly old hands, I should have moisturized first. ha

Thank you everyone, I am so glad that you like it.

Here is the picture of the brooch, before it was converted. ACK.. my arm looks so hairy. :confused:

It is so comfortable to wear and what I like is.....that it doesn't spin. Now I need to go somewhere to wear it. ha.


Thank you again, for everyone's sweet comments.

Your brooch to bangle conversion is amazing. Don't worry about having somewhere to wear it to. I'd wear it to But groceries if I could. Enjoy your new bangle and it's a real stunner. So much wrist coverage ;-)

Thank you so much. I love all of your comments and they warm my heart. I wore it yesterday out in the sun. It sparkles and is so beautiful.

Bright Ice, I saw yours and my mouth dropped open. You should post a picture of yours too.

Oh Linda, What a stunning piece!!! It looks gorgeous on you. I also love these antique pieces!! Where did you find the beautiful brooch? Please wear her often. She is way too beautiful to be sitting in a drawer. I also love your ring!

Kristie, I can hear your brain spinning all the way over here! Miami keeps looking better and better.... Don't you think?
