Good evening, everyone~ and not that I had made note of it, but I am back from a nice visit up north to see the godmother. More from to come [I can hope], because she sent me home with secondhand goodness. Now that I'm back, I'm doing my best to enjoy the last few days of winter break before things get hectic again. I'll touch a little on that, too... in a New Year's Future Plans post. Title... to... *Scratching out ideas.*
The mother and father persons got me a lovely pair of brooches from Premier Designs, the company that the mother person hosted a jewelry show from. Or rather, I should say, they are single brooches, that they bought two of, and as such, I plan to make a double brooch out of it. If you've ever wanted a good reason to hang on to necklaces that you've lost or broken the original piece that went with it, this is a good one.
These particular brooches in all their wide flower-esque sparkliness are reminiscent of the one strung across the mantle worn by Alucard, of the Castlevania series, designed by Ayami Kojima. While also inspirational of Aristocrat, it is a very involved cosplay, that probably won't happen for another few years. But at least I will have these already in my possession when I do get around to it.
I strung them with a Kuroshitsuji necklace, the knife in the middle a nod to the titular butler Sebastian, and his default weapon of choice, utensils. This is for the time being, until I actually need to secure a chain on for extended wear. Naturally, I plan to wear them a lot over the suit jacket and heavier blouses, though because I am slightly paranoid when it comes to losing parts off of jewelry, it may be an exclusive grand-day/night-out piece only. We'll see. I am now encouraged to acquire more, so they can be worn in a more day-to-day ensemble. Plus, more chain goodness to go with the Visual Kei.
Coincidentally, I also got a jewelry box for Christmas as well [from mother persons-side aunt]. I need to clear off space for it though [however it does impede Sebastian from upturning the folder stack].
I hope I can showcase them some more off and on, especially with this slew of new old things I've gotten from Boston~. In the meantime, I hope I've helped you all reach your sparkle quota for the day [...month...? year? ...hour...?].
Eternally yours,
Il Ruinante Isaak

I really like you double brooch design! It's a good idea, especially like you said for broken necklace parts ^_^
Thank you~. I got a pair of tweezers just for the purpose of bending tiny chain links of broken things. I've been thinking to use maybe a three chain set, with short to long lengths as well, rather than just one.
