CAMEO BROOCH

Petrea Christoffersen Daniels was born in Denmark in 1868. She lived 93 years and died in Utah in 1961.

Petrea was my 2nd great-grandmother and this cameo brooch belonged to her.

My favorite thing about this brooch are the stains. I'm seriously in love with them.

PS - I hope that I inherited her genes to live a long life.

I am swooning over that brooch. My grandma had one just like it and I have always wanted a perfect outfit to wear a cameo brooch.
I am also laughing that your day... wedgie machines and cameo brooches- I can't think of two things more opposite :)

I'm in love with this cameo too! But I was also in love with jewelry I got of hers. Cameos are the best! I'm glad you get to enjoy this one! :-)

Love you!

I would've just thought that the stains were antiquing and part of the brooch itself ~ it's beautiful!
