A Gift from My Sister

This is one of my all time favourite things, purchased in New York City. My sister and I met a lovely woman who had a vintage jewellry store in Soho, but closed up shop. A year or so later Claudia managed to track the woman down, showing vintage pieces out of her loft. We both fell in love with this brooch. I think it's 1940s plastic with crystals, but I could be wrong. The clasp needs fixing, but otherwise it's in perfect shape!

What a great story...composite acrylics are simply the best for modernity! Big comeback for the new stuff too...
