I have looked high and low for similar jewelry, and it's very hard to find around here. I recently discovred Turkish jewelry in L.A. and just found it on Ebay. They seem to reproduce the Victorian patterns in brass and silver. Yurdan.com also has a lot.

What I did to display them back in the 90's was to take a 6 inch wide and yard long ribbon sash hanging on a wall and then collage them all up and down pinning them to the ribbon sash so everyone including myself could admire them. <br />Patti do you remember the trend of pinning the brooches to the curtain tie backs as Drapery jewelry, I still love seeing unexpected things being blinged .<br /><br />A most beautiful weekend full of inspiring brooch ideas.<br /><br />Xoxo<br />DoréBurlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039834840181816670.post-16997562051330954202014-02-27T00:51:41.487-05:002014-02-27T00:51:41.487-05:00What a beautiful collection Patti...

I've been collecting for nearly a year and have about 90. I've turned into a brooch hoarder!<br /><br />You have such beautiful ones. The workmanship is stunning. The one that is shaped like a leaf reminds me of one that I acquired last summer and it's one of my favorites. Such fun!<br /><br />Thank you for the party!Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039834840181816670.post-14718582131424119962014-02-25T14:42:37.294-05:002014-02-25T14:42:37.294-05:00That's quite the collection!

I don't know why... <br /><br />Well, I have some that were a traditional offer when a child was born in my country that you'd love and if I had, I'd share a pic with you, so sure I am you'd swoon over it ahahah - but then I don't know who's close to you and don't want you swooning on Brad Pitt's arms - and they are too cute: usually in gold, with birds and a pearl or some precious stone - and you would love them. I am so sure of it that I might arrive home tonight and take a picture to send you...<br /><br />But where was I before the Brad Pitt remark? - oh. yes. Somehow after that baby brooches phase it seems the piece was no longer an item until a few Christmas ago when one of my best friends sent me a delicious musical note brooch in silver and with some (discreet) bling... she couldn't believe, when I told her it was my first grown-up brooch ever.<br /><br />Since then I've had another from a good friend and sometimes I dream of buying one as an indulgence. I like those with Victorian Roses like on your first pic... oh and pearls but then I don't see how pratical they would do be with my fashion sense.<br /><br />I need to take more inspiration from you! To have because you love and then The Lord Will Provide.<br />Love,<br />Teresa<br /><br />Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039834840181816670.post-86693126921421562242014-02-24T10:31:42.963-05:002014-02-24T10:31:42.963-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039834840181816670.post-80520340927427642112014-02-24T10:04:21.447-05:002014-02-24T10:04:21.447-05:00
