A granny in Australia says...am half way thru Scottish brooches and am admiring a shamrock themed piece. Reminds me; Alhambra Van Cleef & Arpels four leaf clover bracelet knock offs seem suddenly to be THE thing. Catherine Wales and Q. Camilla both have the real thing, and wear them lots! Seems to me they may be the influencers on this one. Since the recent funeral I have been seeing youtubers examining brooches worn, and explaining the message eg Fergie wearing a swallow, long used in mourning jewellery. Using your clothes as an easel and well thought out (cheap) jewellery one can be very creative, and a ton of fun, even for an old girl. Jen...I mentioned that a baby/toddler Lilibet wore coral beads. I am so old that I had a copy of Nanny "Crawfie"'s book, "The Little Princesses", and if memory serves it was mentioned in that. I've forgotten more trivia than I've read!
Thank you so much for the resource - I’m going to see if I can get a copy of that book 💖 The brooches Queen Elizabeth II wore were indeed spectacular. The sentiment and symbolism in the pieces is a fascinating - from flowers to birds, lovers knots… 😍
That was a wonderfully informative video, I really love how you present with all the information, the embedded videos and images... as a visual learner, it's perfect for me! Thank you so much, I will be on the look out for these Scottish beauties now, especially as I have Sottish heritage.

Hi there, new subscriber from Scotland (Edinburgh) here. Firstly, I just wanted to say a massive thanks for your wonderful, informative videos - the best I have watched. I only started collecting vintage jewellery a few months ago from charity (thrift) shops and I’ve found a few nice little pieces. However, today, I took myself off to an antique dealers and bought my first piece of antique Scottish jewellery - a lovely red banded agate piece. I thought it only right given I’m Scottish! It’s a funny thing but when I was a little girl we had many pieces but it was considered old fashioned and I’ve no idea where it disappeared to. Thank you once again for your knowledge and inspiration! Oh and if you’re ever in Edinburgh please let me know and I’ll show you around our many vintage shops! Ps Have you ever thought about writing a book? They’re few and far between.
Linda, welcome to the channel!! ♥️ It’s so lovely to ‘meet’ you, and congratulations on your red banded agate piece! Thank you for your kind words 😘 I hope to travel to Edinburgh one day soon and will definitely let you know if I do! A book is a very intriguing idea… thank you for taking the time to comment!
Please adjust your lighting settings to clear the glare from sunlight. Your program is the BEST, but my eyesight is not. I watch YT videos all day and night . Because you are so sweet and I wish not to hurt your feelings..the lighting seems distracting from your personal quality.
Hello, nice to meet you! Definitely agree - I’ve been working on changing locations in my house, lighting, and also inserting slides and pre-recorded videos so that details come across clearly. Thank you for the feedback & hanging in there! ♥️😘
@@sundaebaubles have a good look at the hallmark it looks like a mid 20th century cast brooch the word Iona would never be on a Georgian brooch it looks very like a brooch made by the Iona jeweller John Hart or the likes no offence meant :0)
@@sundaebaublesforgot to say it’s a misconception that brooches that have long Barrel joints are antique I was using these joints in the mid 70,s Also your brooch has a modern damaged rollover catch which is indicative of these type of brooches :0)

There is no way that blue chalcedony brooch is Georgian
Hello Mike, thanks for watching & commenting. I’m genuinely curious to understand the basis of your opinion on age, do you think I misread the marks?
