I decided I'd really like to try and attach a vintagey-looking emerald (or fake emerald if it's that much cheaper!) brooch to my dress to tie in with our colour scheme so I set about googling images and fell in love with this:

Stunning, right? So I click on it and it costs..... wait for it.......

$****!!!!!!!! ? ? ?

Haha, well I thought about asking some HIBs and jeweller friends of mine if they could make something inspired by that sort of design.

Ouch! A tad overpriced methinks. Unless I have the scale wrong and it's the size of a dinner plate...

Yikes that's expensive! I always do that too, if I'm trying to choose between things I don't know the prices of, I invariably choose the priciest one! Sods law I guess!

Tis a pretty jewel though!

Bloody hell! Expensive. Stunning though.

Get some emails sent to the HIBS, I'm sure someone can come up with something based along the same lines.

Have a look on ebay there is bound to be something on there. If not keep looking - eventually you'll find something. ?
