Indeed, LittleMo, it is a huge jewel, and as you are not very tall and of slight build I think it would be too large on you. It would be the same with those enormous, grand necklaces. You will have to stick with the more dainty styles! Yes it is also a very animated piece and if the fabric you wear the Waterfall brooch on is not completely smooth, then it does tend to "snag". But I don't mind really because I love it so much! It's a real statement piece, there's no doubt about that. --Previous Message-- : Interesting how if the Queen leans a bit the : 'tassels' move and look crooked. : : Actually having seen both the real thing and : Gill's copy I have to say it is not a : favourite of mine at all !!
