Wedding Jewellery - with a difference!

I am thinking a change in career is need and I am considering becoming a jewellery maker... : O.  I love unique big statement pieces (using mostly vintage brooches)!  And I am considering aiming my collection at brides to be and the bridal party, I would love a little feed back.

These aren't my designs but they are in the area I would go, as a bride to be is this something you would consider?

GET THE LOOK - Brooch

I looooooove brooches - I can not put into words how much I love them... some people like earrings, or necklaces, rings but I would rather a brooch any day.

My H2B bought me a lovely antique brooch for my birthday a couple of years ago now, it is my most priced possession (other than the ring!)

Below are some of my favourite website, great for antique brooches (and jewellery), plus you can always find a great bargain on Ebay or in your local charity shop.
