You may be lucky enough to spot one or more wild parrots across various parts of London and the Home Counties, and if you are very lucky you may even spot one of these Silver Marcasite Parrot Brooches!. Small flocks of parakeets have even been reported as far north as Manchester. The best time of year to go looking for the birds is during the summer months, when they are easily identifiable by their loud and distinctive calls.

Brooches were very popular in the Victorian era and were traditionally worn on the left side which was considered correct and sophisticated by people in high society. They are an accessory a lot of us tend to write off as outdated, but now days people are far more creative. Brooches are fast becoming a new trend again with people wanting to make they’re own style statement, are wearing them not only on coat and jacket lapels, scarfs, jeans but even on the sides of handbags etc.
