Ohhh yeah. This was made for scarves

Guess you’ll be needing to acquire a second house further north to scarf up, huh?

I only spend part of my time in FL. The rest is up in northern IL so we get tons of cold weather. I put my hair up into a french twist every once in a while. I think it would be gorgeous on that!

Hahahaha, well I already have one in northern IL. Sweaters and scarves are the norm 3/4s of the year!

Oh, perfect!! You've got all the scarf decor, maybe just need a few more scarves

I cannot wait for photos of this. This will be *epic*. How much does the brooch weigh? D'you think you'll be able to wear it without additional pins?

Catmom I am absolutely loving your bling adventures lately!! Your opal thread remains one of my all-time faves. And brooches in french twists? Sign me up for all of it

LOL happy to entertain and thank you! And I have to say you guys were right. I love it in my hair. Hubby was initially skeptical but after I got it up he thought it looked fabulous in my hair. I had to enlist him to take the photos. It's not heavy at all and very wearable in hair. Oh the fun I am going to have!!!!!

This is spectacular @Catmom. You pull it off so casually... The colours suit your hair. You're going to have to show your jeweller these photos!

And to think that another jeweller might have taken this apart for two eternity bands... Daisy's right on, it really was waiting for you

That's what kills me. It's in such perfect condition because of the very light wear and yet it still could have been dismantled to make eternity bands. I want to cry just thinking about it. I think it was meant to be.

Apparently the hair pictures don't do it justice at all. Hubby says it was sparkling like mad in my hair but he just couldn't get a photo of it.

This brooch is beautiful! The diamonds are super fiery and love the pop of green. So happy you saved it.

 

[Hounddog]

Wow! Its a divine brooch, thank goodness your Jeweller was so sympathetic to it and thought of you too. It would have been Tragic if that was broken up! Such history and beauty could have been lost to the world. Very well done to you both.

 

[junebug17]

This is such a gorgeous piece @Catmom I keep going back and looking at the pics, makes me happy to look at it. Those marquise diamonds! If I owned this I'd wear it every chance I got. It looks great with the scarf. So glad you rescued this!

Thanks kgizo, I'm very happy we could save it. The diamonds are amazing and of course I love tsavorite.

I agree! I love my jeweler. It makes me sad to think of all the other pieces like this that have been lost.

Aww thank you junebug17! You can't see it in the pics but each stone has the little open culets I just love. It is going to get a ton of wearing time. But I will always wear it at Christmas to honor the grandmother, even if it's only in my hair.

 

[Catmom]
