Victorian Starburst Brooch

[JPie]

Thanks to everyone who replied in my previous thread! I had been debating whether to get the one on the left or keep the one on the right:


I went with the left one and I’m so glad I did! The OMCs on it are fiery, eye clean, and blow the rosies in the other brooch away. It’s a rough estimate of 3.5 ctw, and the pin stem comes off to transform into a pendant.

I had previously purchased a smaller starburst brooch, but it didn’t quite scratch my itch. I ended up oxidizing the silver myself and I think the gunmetal finish really helps to brighten up the duller diamonds:

Thanks @Diamond Girl 21 @Gussie & @arkieb1 !

@Luvallgems they sure don’t make them like they used to!

 

[GlitterInMyHair]

Gorgeous!!!

I wonder how it would look on a velvet choker?

 

[DauphineMucha]

Looks like hers! Congrats!

 

[JPie]

@GlitterInMyHair it might be a bit pokey but I’ll find out!

@DauphineMucha oh hey! That’s a pretty blingy version. Figures she would have the best brooches.

This is amazing! And I love that teeny date engraved on the side

Can we see you wearing it as a pendant for perspective?

@Alex T the sun came out and I was able to take a few pics. My neighbor now thinks I’m crazy; I was holding up my phone in one hand, and a mirror in the other so I could see the shot.



@tyty333 thank you! I think I will.
