This brooch was made to be worn with "Melon Balls" jewelry ensemble and Hat, which is made using a variety of vintage and new buttons and beads in colors of melon and black.
The pin boasts a lovely display of "buffed celluloid" buttons. I just adore the black and tan combination. It took many years to collect the right sizes and colors for this brooch. The ribbon worked flowers are made from a vintage ribbed cotton ribbon and the leaves are from a taffeta ribbon.
The ribbon buttons and flowers are attached to florist wire wrapped in sating ribbon, and sit in a vintage jacquard ribbon vase. A pin back is stitched to the back of the vase.
It is 2-1/2" wide x 5-3/4" tall. |
