Dmitry - I completely sympathise with your feelings. But I feel that too many things these days are reserved for young people only, to the detriment of standards of quality and practicality. That is what I had in mind. I keep feeling that the intended function as a brooch was not allowed to be a priority. The shape and dimensions are all wrong. And the pin is placed across the wide part and is so long that it needs to be threaded through the fabric to stop the piece dragging it down. The overall look is forgettable. I compare it with the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee brooch and despair! Unfortunately I cannot find a good pic. --Previous Message-- : if that is what the young designers are coming : up with, then I might suggest that they work : for the lesser end department stores. : : There is no magnificence, no grandeur, : nothing more than a little bit of : pseudo-sentimental playing around with : elements sufficient to satisfy a grade : school project, but woefully insufficient : for anything other than to be one of those : "annual" Christmas brooches put : out by Avon, or some such firm.
