Beautiful timepieces such as this have been a cherished & highly desired part of our culture and history since, well almost forever. This classic brooch is from my dear friends estate. You would have really liked her. Everyone did. Well respected, deeply loved, her traditions remain with those of us who knew her. She was a tall elegant woman from the old south. She was smart as a whip, yet polite enough to never make anyone feel inferior. She had a sharp wit, full of sass & fun. She traveled the globe finding jewelry treasures. My friend loved her costume jewelry as much as her fine jewels. She had plenty of both. Often mixing vintage with fine jewels, no one knew the difference. She simply looked glamorous. A true southern aristocrat. Whether she was serving ice tea on the veranda or attending a charity gala, my friend was coiffed to perfection! Whoever gets this piece of vintage charm will surely inherit her love, strength, vigor and determination that enveloped everything she touched. Hopefully , a little anyway!
