Madeleine Albright's Brooch Collection 

"Read My Pins"


When asked what kind of mood she was in, the former US Secretary of State would simply say, "read my pins."

Her famous pins are now displayed at New York's Museum of Arts & Design. In the 200 piece collection are the golden snake pin she got after Saddam Hussein called her a "serpent," a bee brooch she wore whenever she thought she was walking into a "sting," and the balloon pin she chose if talks were likely to go well. When feeling patriotic, she was known to wear a gold eagle brooch and a dove brooch when giving speeches in the Middle East. The show might tour for as long as two years -- the perfect excuse for Albright to get more brooches!

Rhinestone Cleaning Tips

A soft jeweler's cloth with alcohol is the best way to gently clean rhinestone jewelry. Do not immerse in water, as liquids can cause the foil behind the rhinestones to tarnish and lose their sparkle.
