Nowadays they are used to adorn both men's and women's outfits - see Tulsa King for men wearing brooches. Portrait brooches demonstrate some of the most artistic creations available with designs being hand painted onto different materials.

I do not use professional photographers (you'd just have to pay more if I did) and do not photoshop or enhance pictures in any way. I simply take macro pictures in a homemade lightbox to provide the most honest portrayal possible. I clean lightly before snapping but do not polish to "as new" though this can obviously be done. It is only my opinion but I feel antique items that are polished too much lose some of the character. I will always note any faults and will always answer honestly when asked regarding any imperfections.
