I voted both. You could wear either as designed but the bar brooch would make a cool bracelet depending on length. I think a PS’er shared that she wore brooches but on leather cuffs as bracelets. I always thought that was clever.

I would have something made so that I could wear the bar brooch as it is gorgeous!

Something V neck so that it can be worn at the bottom of the V.

I would love it as a bracelet! It’s pretty long and I’m not sure it could be done without ruining the bezels and I wouldn’t want to break it apart.

Voted both as well! They really match in a way and I can see them worn in so many ways. Cheers to be deliciously blinged out! ✨

im so overjoyed seeing a brooch thread

what would Queen Mary do ?
its both from me too
Thanks @YadaYadaYada, @dk168, @LemonMoonLex, @SapphireBomb and @Daisys and Diamonds - I took your advice and wore both. It is a blingier look than I usually do and kind of fun.

I would wear both as individual pieces but not together. Wasn’t sure how to vote for that so I didn’t vote yet :D
LOL, I should’ve put that option :)

Interesting suggestion. I’ll give it a try lengthwise.

They are both stunning.
Wear both.
Life is short and there are not enough brooches being worn!
I agree! We should all wear more brooches =)2

Edited to add I just Googled how to wear a bar brooch, and a Mo collar would work well.

Whoa that is way longer than I thought!!! The scale looked so different in the first photograph with both of them.

They’re both lovely but if I had to choose it would be the star, all the way.

Sometimes one, sometimes both, depends on your outfit and bling level for the day. No rules! They're fabulous either way.:love: I would one hundred percent pick those for myself.

Oh okay, the bar brooch is way longer than I thought lol!

It would look really cute with a dress that has cinching on the side. Sorry, I just love coming up with unconventional ways to wear brooches. I wore one in my hair one Christmas and got so many compliments.

This is an idea on a dress, this is not me lol!

OMG that's giant! Maybe drawer-pull or luggage handle? :cool2:

Spouse has one about half that long that she wears vertically as a pendant but yours must be > 3"

She would probably use the bar brooch to keep her sash in place, as it is long enough to go across the sash!

I can envision the bar brooch sort of streaming behind the star one so it looks like a shooting star. Might be logistically hard to wear it that way though but I can’t stop thinking about it haha!
