Larry VRBA made this huge 8" brooch in the likeness
of my
Morning Glory logo. Need I say it is one of my all-time favorites? It
is so three-dimensional that it’s almost impossible to photograph well.

Valerie says that when it comes to really big jewelry,
"Well, I can definitely participate… I won’t wear a brooch under 4
inches. Here are some of my larger ones. I also have a David Mandel
mermaid that is 14 inches long, he had to make it in 2 pieces."

A showpiece 7-1/2" long and
6" wide floral brooch. The flowers turn and have red crystals on the
outside, smaller green crystals on the inside and a big round crystal in
the center. I was told this piece
might have been made for a Broadway show. Looks big enough to be true.
Davida Baron |
This BROOCH is 6-3/4
long and 4" wide, and a mixture of pearls and crystals. I believe it’s from
the 20’s and European … maybe French. The center flower is a trembler.
