    I'm rather partial to history, as well as bling. These are a bit of both. Three stretch bracelets, all marked Empire Made and a big fat daisy brooch marked Hong Kong, which is also where the bracelets would have been made.

    The brooch pleases me. I have matching earrings bought new by my mama in about 1972. I even still have the dress she bought them to go with. (For those in the UK, Richard Shops. Who used to do alterations would you believe, my first long evening frock came from them!)

    My fave is the pin too. I love those flowery, petaly plastic ones for no good reason. They're worth little here, but they're fun.

    They’re quite popular here, although not expensive. Japanese young women seem to especially like them. Im keeping this, of course!
