#JOTW Victorian Brooch Conversion Project

[JPie]

I knowwwwww (and are you in my head?!?!)

If it makes you feel better, I went looking on Etsy again. I don’t know why because I’m not in the position to buy more right now.

This one I’d actually keep as a brooch if I were to get it. It’s a hoot!

Ok just for that someone here needs to buy it!

If anyone wants to be have the “sister” OMG this is the exact brooch.
But, the price tag is an eye watering $3,200 US odd.
Excellent buying yours at $1258!

I'll stick with the "kissing cousin turquoise crescents"

Don't you have sticker shock just looking at how much more similar brooches are? Jpie seriously won the lotto with her brooch!

Love how all the pieces turned out! I'm so lusting for one such brooch myself now!

Another gorgeous crescent from the same seller as mine!

Celestial things are classic and fun at the same time, wonderful piece.

Love, love, love this project! I SO want to be a copy cat and find something to convert. You have great vision. Congrats on a really excellent outcome.

Wow, it’s the ruby twin!

@JPie I hope you don't mind but I am shamelessly copying your fantastic pendant. I found a similar ruby brooch from a dealer in London. It was in budget and I just ordered it. So excited! I fell in instant love with yours!

@ceg @JPie:
IDJ confirmed receipt of my package! I hope I don't pass out when I get their price quote lololol!

 

[Gussie]

So here's a pic. It's only from 1976 so not antique but it was the right price. So excited!

Wow, our crescents could be fraternal twins! Those rubies have a great color.

 

[Gussie]

I seriously hope you don't mind my blatant copy, lol!

Not in the least! People have been converting crescent pins into necklaces looooooong before I did. I think it's great that old jewelry is getting a new life!
