The Vintage Broach Ware

$75.00

Woog Ware No. 17

Currently on: Lady Reeves, Month 8 of 29

This month’s addition: The old cameo brooch. She says Month 8 deserved something with a little ceremony to it.

Objects of delight: A regal beaded chain, a jeweled cross, a lighthouse charm in stained-glass colors, an old cameo brooch, a jeweled cluster, and a red half sphere of fractured glass.

Key Registry: No key on this one. Lady Reeves says a proper necklace doesn’t need one.

The supper-club argument: This is the second cameo in the collection. Frizzie insists the two cameo ladies are sisters and has already written them a falling-out.

The cameo is a brooch, so it falls under the no-brooches-near-dessert rule. Lady Reeves, who has never once been careless near dessert, finds this insulting. The red half sphere is cracked all the way through like ice, yet somehow it’s the steadiest thing on the necklace. The lighthouse shines on whoever wears it. Readers of The Blue Line Echo may have their own feelings about lighthouses.

In the 29 Necks, necklaces change hands every month at supper. This Ware isn’t married to its Woog. Take it home with Lady Reeves, with a different Woog, or on your own neck.
