The two I have are beautiful. The only problems I have - and I cannot for the life of me understand why they do it - is that the pin on the back opens at the top, so if it comes undone the brooch slips off. If only they made them the other way up, they would be much safer to wear. I have to use safety chains with them so that I'm secure if that happens. But apart fro that they are stunning pieces.
