Just as you have many times heard that there are no words to describe something's beauty, so goes that there are no photos to truly display the beauty of this brooch. Set in the pave style, this vintage piece has always been a favorite of mine. Flawless and awesome ... it really rocks.

Really Beautiful
I've never grown orchids, but they do happen to be my favorite flower. The Smithsonian Institute sponsors an orchid show now and then, and it is magnificent. Also is the Botanical Gardens in D.C. which has an array of orchids growing in their jungle-like area. The fragrances are out of this world. I guess maybe my original fascination for orchids is why I admire this brooch so much.
