In the past couple of days (perhaps a bit longer), I have come across two interesting words that I want to delve into a bit more here in the blog. They are:

Brooches (commonly misspelled as ‘broaches’)
Lavalier

Both of these words are used in the jewelry industry. However, lavalier is mostly associated with microphones these days.

Anyhow, for some reason they are of interest to me at the moment. So, I’m going to do a little research in the coming days and hopefully post the etymologies for these two words.

If you have any cool information about either word, please feel free to share it and I’ll include it in the follow up article. It should be interesting (I hope).
