Large Copper and Brass Brooch with Faux Pearls, 4.5" x 2.5", Restored
Details
When I got this piece I though it was simply brass because it had such a heavy patina and spots of verdigris. The original faux pearl drops had lost most of their coating and overall the piece was extremely dirty. When I was polishing to remove the grime I discovered that the blossom portions of the calla lilies were actually copper! I fitted it with new faux pearls and brought the metal to a high shine.

I have collected vintage costume jewelry since I was a teenager. Restoring damaged and poorly cared for pieces is my newest passion. These things were often worn during memorable occassions, sometimes the happiest ones in a person's life. I like to think I am helping them live on to do that again for others. This is an offshoot of my handmade textile business, H bar N Craftworks.
