Some non-Vintaj creations

I bought some other brass filigree from a source other than Vintaj. The price per piece was about the same as Vintaj, but they were plated, so, when I tried to bend some of them, they snapped in two! Live and learn. While Vintaj's selection is not quite as vast, the quality is superior. The purple necklace is made with a beautiful old belt buckle, and some chain I bought at Michael's. So pretty...
