The
brooch!
The item that has been said to conjure
up images of grandma as she dons her Sunday
best has been making
headlines. Ever since Italian designer
Prada began to show designs adorned with
sparkling clusters of stones last season,
the trend has taken off.
"If
you want to start a collection, start
with a brooch because you will find most
use for it. It can be pinned on a suit
lapel, collar or pocket, on a hat, belt
or evening gown" - Coco Chanel
Big
and glittery is what it's all about. The
diamond look, dangling faux pearls, creatures
of all kinds and rhinestone studded lucite
are very popular picks although anything
goes. Experiment with wearing brooches
on your hat, your waist or your purse!
Use a sparkling rhinestone brooch to hold
layers of fabric in place around your
shoulders or neck. The sky is the limit
when you wear costume jewelry. There is
much more room for fantasy and experimentation
with faux jewels!
