This 3 1-2" red, white and blue rhinestone ship's wheel silvertone brooch from Dorothy Bauer joins me in saluting our armed forces and all those who served in the military this Memorial Day weekend. A special thought for the Navy men in my family, my Dad (Korea) and favorite uncle (WW2)
Very nice!! And I echo Searching1's comment!!
Really pretty and nice remembrances to the heroes in your family!
Very nautical, it's also very beautiful and has a nice, slightly feminine style to it, for a traditionally masculine sort of thing
I find all nautical items really beautiful little treasures btw, and this is so PRETTY!!!
Superb colour and nicely pronged quality piece, perfection !~
Best wishes for a happy Memorial Day weekend & thanks to you all for the love

Thank you Searching for your fabulous and thoughtful words for this patriotic ship's wheel, my Dad & uncle, you are most kind. It is times like these I remember seeing young photos of both men in their Navy uniforms, so handsome & eager to serve. Fortunately both made it back and had good long lives we were blessed
Scott thank you for your super comment and kind thoughts as above, it's nice to have a pretty patriotic brooch to commemorate a rather sad holiday
Ditto MrsT, I really appreciate your lovely comment & sweet sentiment, I hope we all can take comfort in the memories of our brave loved ones this weekend
Thank you Lauren for your terrific praise for this ship's wheel, it was an surprise find for me by one of my fave designers Dorothy Bauer, she had that unique graphic rhinestone style that makes anything of hers a lovely splash of color. You're right, she can put a feminine spin on something masculine very well (remember her motorcycle brooch, how cool was that!)
Phil I knew the multi prongs on even the smallest rhinestones here would catch your eye, making a Bauer gem was undoubtedly a painstaking process! It's great because there are never any missing stones with a Bauer. The colors really stand out well esp that central ruby red. Wonderful praise and keen observ thank you so much!
Really appreciate the kind love Karen for this patriotic ship's wheel, you're always so nice to me and I am ever grateful my friend, thank you :)
