[QUOTE="abbypanda, post: 2692941, member: 9362"][GALLERY=media, 7385]LoveKnotBrooch by abbypanda posted Sep 2, 2020 at 10:57 PM[/GALLERY] Picked up this lovers knot brooch recently. I've been collecting them for little projects here and there. As to not cut it up as recommended previously I discovered the pin pushes out quite easily and can be saved, so taking the stick off was easy: We pushed out the pin and the bar across the back simply fell out. I inserted jump rings in the holes where the pin was (again with no permanent modification) and attached them to a chain. I think I like it hanging this way. I noticed the pin that held the bar in place is brass, I'm wondering if that has been redone or is not original? I gave it a good polish when it arrived and the stones all look good save for that one kinda murky one on the left. I've since restored it to brooch status by sliding the pin in, as I'm going to get a slightly different chan to cut and affix to each jump ring.[/QUOTE]
