Do you still own them or have you sold them?
I sent you an email a few days ago, did you get it?

I still have them. I didn't sell them. I rarely check my e-mail, so I didn't receive it. I can check it now and see if it is there!

Edited to add: I found your e-mail and replied now. Sorry about that!

I've never worn a brooch but I've been finding some that I'm loving. Not sure where I would actually wear but it's seems so romantic!

Definitely never be able to afford it but this makes my heart sing!

I love brooches. They look fabulous on turtleneck sweaters and also on black blazers.

My dream brooch is the large Tiffany diamond and platinum dragonfly. Sigh. Goals.

Anyway the youngish lady detective has a stylish bottle green coat on
but its crying out for a brooch

@Daisys and Diamonds - Maybe this will spark some brooch love. There is a new, super cheesy reality show in US - kind of Bridgerton meets the Bachelor - and the men wear brooches!!

What is the show? Just curious. I'm sooo out of touch with TV shows.

I have been searching for brooches since I decided to have a woman's dinner jacket/tuxedo made with at least 2 jackets - one in black and one in purple.

I found an eBay seller with repro brooches in CZ and Argentium Silver at reasonable prices, including double clips (I love double clips).

I have also been keeping an eye on pearl brooches too.

And brooch-pendants.

I could be wrong, however my understanding is that a clip just clips into place without using a pin and a catch to secure it, like clip on earrings.

Again, I could be wrong, one of the ways to wear a double clip brooch as two clips is for each side of a heart or rectangular necklace to have a clip.

I "wear" antique and vintage brooches/bar pins on my purses, where I can see them. :)

They're like little works of art that are just not being made anymore. CANNOT be made anymore. There are many, many beautiful vintage costume brooches that are amazing for not much money on Ruby Lane, Etsy, etc. Also VERY expensive ones like my avatar brooch.

It's hard, if not impossible, to find a ring that has the level of detail and craftsmanship that a fine antique brooch can have. And brooches are one size fits all. No disappointment that it's not my size!

I say, bring back the antique brooch!

May we see some of these purse brooches
I must say i love this idea
i have a tiny cheap (possibly Avon) pin stuck to a purse i just love
I wish the present younger generation of royal ladies would do this with their brooches if they insist on ignoring them pile they seem to do
