Vintage Jewellery video part 2 now available
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve made a second Vintage Jewellery video, this one takes another look at the back of brooches and shows a clue to telling the difference between a Victorian or 20th century brooch. This vintage jewellery video is currently viewable from the home page of my shop : www.antiquesavenue.co.uk
This is best viewed as supplemental information to my original vintage jewellery video which you can see here:
Brooch or Broach ? Or just call it a clip?
Posted by: | Comments
So how do we spell the pretty clips we attach to our clothes. Is it Brooch or Broach? Why are their two different spellings? As I see both variations used I decided to do a little research.
Goggle offers us far more choice of sites and searches using the term “Brooch”. Wiki gives Brooch its own entry but not so for Broach which simply seems to be an alternate spelling.
So my choice is made – for this Blog they will be Brooches ( or pins, or clips)
The pretty at the top of this post is a hand painted Victorian brooch made of porcelain and decorated with flowers.
