Where to buy a brooch? UPDATED with pics!
Nice quality, but not too $$$. To wear on the strap strap of the dress I posted yesterday. Thanks!
UPDATE:
Thanks, everyone who told me to go to the Garment District. Funny story, I went into one place and a lady told the saleswoman she was looking for brooches. I said, "me too!", and the lady showed me around to some of her favorite places. We got to talking and spent 2 hours together scouring different shops! It was such a nice day! The last place I went into was the best, and I got a brooch and a pair of earrings that matched. That place was at the corner of 6th Ave and 36th st, just like you girls said!
Plus the whole store was half off so I spent $34 total.
Here are the goods:

Re: Where to buy a brooch?
Thanks, guys. I'm so mad...White House Black Market has had just what I want in the past, usually around the holidays.
Anyone know of any similar stores? I kind of want to get one with black stones and matching black earrings/bracelet.

Just go to 6th ave starting around 36/37th streets. Tons of them! Some are wholesale only but it says so on the door. I went into a few places before I found something I liked. Good luck

So they are just jewelry stores that you walk into? And most of them aren't expensive?
ETA: so kind of near Herald Square stop?

Re: Where to buy a brooch?
I second fashion district, I've found amazingly well done jewelery knock offs there.
If you don't want the trip to the city, I have a pretty broach from Tri-County Flea Market, in Levittown

Re: Where to buy a brooch?
I also agree with the suggestion of heading over to the fashion district. There are real store fronts with great brooches for very little money. I purchased one for my wedding for $15 that I had seen in a high end dress shop for over $400. It was the same brooch.
