Brooches

Some of the items below are also pendants. In either case, any brooch can be made into a pendant by adding a "tube bail" to the pin stem.

I also have cloisonné brooches with beaded settings that are collaborations with my sister, Susan Jo Rochlin, a pearl and bead artist. We have a series called Triplebility - three pieces of jewelry in one: a pin, the pin as a pendant on a beaded/pearled chain, the chain by itself with a handmade clasp. If you would like a necklace made to go with one of the brooches below, just contact me. See our Triplebility pieces.
