Keep Brooch Documentation With a Collection

NOTE 01

Start with what you know

Assign each piece a simple reference code and photograph it. Put the same code on a document envelope or folder, keeping labels off the brooch itself.

NOTE 02

Set out a simple system

Collect original care directions, seller information, and relevant repair paperwork. Keep purchase or personal details in a secure place rather than displaying them in a public photo of the collection.

NOTE 03

Check the practical fit

Write a short inventory entry that points to the document location. Mark documents covering several pieces clearly so a general leaflet is not mistaken for material-specific advice.

NOTE 04

Keep the record useful

Review the folder when an accessory is repaired, transferred, or moved. Keep the record factual and retain appropriate professional documents separately from informal style notes.

Before you go.

What is the most useful detail to remember?

The link between piece and document matters more than a decorative filing system.

What should I establish before starting?

Assign each piece a simple reference code and photograph it. Put the same code on a document envelope or folder, keeping labels off the brooch itself.
