Brooch & Pendant

My personal interpretation of the vintage brooches created in the 1930s through 1950s is shown in this
Brooch/Pendant combination created on a gold-plated decorative base, over which an antique finish has been
applied to give it an older look.  Brooches and pendants are available on gold-plated or rhodium-plated bases
(the beauty of rhodium being that it does not tarnish), in numerous sizes, shapes, and styles.  This sturdy brooch
measures 2.25" tall and 1.75" across, and has a bail attached at the back, through which the wearer can thread a
chain of her choice to provide the option of alternating between wearing it as a brooch or as a pendant.  The
three-dimensional bouquet of Pansies within the gallery of this brooch was created with vintage dyed Baby
Cup shells, surrounded by dyed green Gar Scale foliage with dyed Rice shell flower buds peeking through the
bouquet, all contained within a Calico Scallop shell vase.  A beautiful little floral bouquet that will continue to
bloom all year long!
