My mother's broach : A favourite collection

My mother loved broaches. Maybe it was a fashion thing. She was born in the same year as Queen Elizabeth II, who is seldom seen without her pearls and a broach.

The broach in this macro is literally my final connection to my mother. The day before her funeral, I bought two of them. One of them she is now wearing in heaven and this is the one I kept for me. I inherited all her broaches and her penchant for them.

 

But when I want to feel really close to her, I wear this one.

 

The broach in this photo is a pink glass with a cut cameo in the centre and is surrounded by a stone studded filigree outside rim. It is sitting on the upturned bottom of a crystal bowl from a dressing table set.
