Mother of Pearl Brooches

Jewellery / apparel / clothing

Which one will I wear today? Set on a green velvet case, this collection of mother of pearl brooches would have sat within a dressing table drawer, ready for one to be selected and pinned to the neckline of a blouse. Look carefully at each brooch to admire the intricate carving, with a decorative edge, diagonal patterning and a floral motif in the centre. The finishing touch for a woman in the 1920s.
