Thank you for viewing. This is a handmade brooch. *Materials* Curved stick, brass Cotton pearl, Kiska (8mm) made in Japan Metal fitting color, gold It is adhered with clear resin. I've applied a generous amount to increase the strength. Please see the photo of the back. How about using it as an accent on the collar of a jacket, dress, or cardigan? It's a simple and easy-to-use brooch. Please handle with care. Cotton pearls are sensitive to moisture.
