<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4190554, member: 5833&quot;]I don&#039;t think the floral thingies are securing anything.&nbsp; The &#039;petals&#039; are bent to varying degrees &amp; when seen from behind look quite open.&nbsp; I tried to get a closeup of the stone at 4 o&#039;clock (when trying to decide at what o&#039;clock to call it, realized the pearls &amp; stones are placed around the edge in a very eccentric way) as it&#039;s one of the clearer ones to see, but it became too pixelated.&nbsp; I see it being held by what one would conventionally call prongs inside the flower.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even bent in as far as they could go, &amp; many of them are not, the petals look inadequate to me to hold the pearls.&nbsp; If it was glue alone, think at least one would be missing by now.&nbsp; Hence I think there must be posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the brooch is as it was made originally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
