Hi, I just buy what I like. I have many that I wear, but more to work and church. Depending on the size of the brooch determines my necklace, just wear them and have fun. I love to wear and see a beautiful brooch.

I don’t know the history of this cameo but it was my mother’s. I had a high necked lace Victorian inspired wedding gown and wore it at my neck as “something borrowed”. Mom died in 2013 and I asked dad if I could have it. I think it is beautiful. Scared to wear it because I would hate to lose it. 
What a perfect keepsake from your mom. So pretty! I love cameos. They are so classic and you don't see them often. I haven't worn mine in ages but after seeing your photo I think I'm going to find an opportunity to wear it this week. [emoji4]
I’m resurrecting this thread to share my newest acquisition 
Not mine but I think they are fun...I went to my favorite thrift. I had not been there in a month. The woman that works there said she had been waiting on me. She went to the back and came back with a box. She said I saved these for you. I am posting 4, but I purchased 12. Two are MMA, DV Hattie and the man has no signature.
I’ve never been into brooches but the simple ness of this Dior got me. I love how it adds just a little something to my outfit 
I may have to look into getting more brooches in the future.

One of my earlier Chanel purchases, wearing this brooch today. Not sure if you can see it clearly it’s really really tiny,
Love this! It's adorable and classy at the same time.
Love the arrow and I wish my TJ Maxx had jewelry like this in stock! It's all costume in mine.
Love both of those. I can imagine them looking very elegant on a lapel. What is markasite?
Thanks! With TJ Maxx, I find it's really just luck. I've scored pieces from Ippolita and Lagos there. Other times, you don't really find anything worthwhile.
Thank! Marcasite is another name for pyrite. During the gold rush in the United States in the mid 19th century, it came to be known as "fools' gold", because nuggets of it were often mistaken for gold. When Louis XIV was King of France, only he was allowed to wear genuine diamond jewelry, so marcasite was often used as a diamond simulant.
