Vintage faux pearl brooches

I just love vintage and old jewelry. To me value is not a drivning force in collecting jewelry. I would go so far as to say it is of almost no importance to me. Instead I want to find pieces I like and want to wear and some pieces are from a time period that is interesting. Sometimes you can find good quality costume jewelry for almost nothing. Like these faux bead brooches that are my "snowflakes". Beautiful to be worn with a silk scarf in the summer or on something wooly and knitted in the winter. I think they are quite nice and add something that modern jewelry can't. Here are some examples from around 1950's - 80's.
And by the way they go very well with my perfumes La vie est Belle :)
