I don't know when I started having a thing for vintage brooches, but over the past few years, whenever I go to a great consignment sale, or a fantastic church rummage sale like I did this past weekend, I always look for cute big brooches. Some may have a little bit of whimsy, and some may have a ton of sparkle! But the reason why I look for them is I attach just one to an old vintage gold chain and just attach it so it hangs down.

I've seen so many people (my lovely mother included!) find several vintage brooches and attach them together and form a big statement necklace. I'd LOVE to do that once I find enough, but for now, I think these simple one brooch necklaces suit me. They add a great amount of pop to an outfit or just simply float along as a great companion piece. (I can just envision that new black pearl with a LBD! Ahh love it!). What do you think? Would you do it?
Happy Mid Week!
These are pretty nice :) xxx

This is such a great idea! I love the first one with the green stones. I may need to go on a little brooch hunt :) After my spending freeze is over of course...
ReplyDeleteI love a brooch necklace! So classic and chic! I can't believe that brooch was only $1! Incredible! I also love it that your mom wears a bunch together, I wish I had a few to wear together, sounds like I need to start brooch hunting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have so many pins I inhierted and never thought to hang them from a necklace. Thanks for the inpiration!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I have been searching through family jewelry that I received for some vintage brooches so I could do this, but so far no luck. xo
