Michelle Obama's fondness for vintage jewelry brooches is well documented.  She has many of them, and often wears them in unique and unusual ways.  Her latest brooch is a real dazzler!

 

Mrs. Obama recently spoke to a crowd of several hundred at the annual meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington, D.C, as part of her current campaign on childhood obesity.

 

She wore a hot pink dress with folded detail at the neckline.  Accessorizing the dress perfectly was this lovely Schreiner brooch, purchased at Ikram's in Chicago.  I like the way she accented the pleating of the dress with the careful placement of the brooch.

 

Schreiner is one of the most collectible of all vintage jewelry designers from the mid 1900s.  The design are appreciated for their unusual combination of color and the use of quality stones.  One trademark of Schreiner is the use of reverse settings of rhinestones with the point of the rhinestone facing up instead of towards the back of the brooch.

 

What do you think of her latest brooch?
