    Found this pretty brooch with glass(?) beads added to the enamel paint to create flitter and texture to the flowers. Never seen this done before — just thought I’d share.

      Beautiful floral brooch, it has a real life flower bouquet look to it

      Those glass beads are the same design element as a necklace of mine has that I've got photos of here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/266183-sand-necklace . I have no clue where it's from, so it's intriguing to see another of its kind. If I may ask, your brooch doesn't have any plastic bits, right?

      I also wish to the colors on this brooch are amazing! I don't think I've ever seen such a combination in jewelry before.
