<p>[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 10004751, member: 15376"]At this phase of my collection, I don't have anything seriously valuable (antique + gold + diamonds <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) I need to worry about wearing. I don't have many places to dress up for, but the most I've done is my gold chain and dormuses, which I think in my farm community doesn't merit a second glance as something 'nice'. I'd like to set up some shadow boxes with the pieces I like but aren't my style to wear, but otherwise I try to get them out when I can! I've pinned my snake brooch to my turtleneck like a cameo before, and I particularly like fastening brooches to chains to make them pendants. If they don't hang straight, I'll pin them to my shirt and make them a fixed pendant, which keeps them safer anyway. Most of my excursions are to car boot sales/vide greniers, so usually I'm only out for 3 or 4 hours. I've not lost or broken anything yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
