In honor of Election Day, the Red Carpet Jeweler blog is paying tribute to First Lady Michelle Obama's style. On Halloween, she was seen sporting a beautiful bee brooch which generated a lot of buzz. Bad puns aside, it is quite a lovely piece. Designed by CFDA accessory designer of the year Alexis Bittar, the bee is hand-painted and hand-carved lucite.Looking for ideas on how to use this to help customers flock to your store like bees to honey? We promise no more bad puns; just a few good suggestions.

Do you have any brooches like this one? Feature them in a case together on a colorful scarf and remind your customers that even though it's getting colder, brooches are jewelry that's perfect worn on a scarf or coat to add some sparkle to their heavy outer layers.
Brooches also make great gifts. Coincidentally, some of the largest gift-giving holidays are right around the corner! Decorate a wreath or tree with brooches, so that it's festive and sparkly!
