@Ann Upon looking at it closer it could use a paint touch-up. As a brooch collector, do you have a recommendation for enamel paint (that isn't nail varnish-which works, but I think I want to restore it) ?
@Miss Magpie Thank you. I'm always pleased when you say you like a brooch as you have such a nice collection.
@Thrifty Parka Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Re: enamel paint restoration, I've repaired brooches with the paint sold to model railway/ plastic plane model enthusiasts. (Blog post on how to do it here: http://crinolinerobot.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/how-to-repair-vintage-enamel-jewellery.html)
What a splendidly festive brooch. Love the colours! xxx
ReplyDeleteYup loving this one too, very unusual.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I would wear it with a cluster of pins too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your broach posts! I look forward to seeing more jewellery!
Happy thrifting ;)
