The power of the brooch

This is an edited version of an episode of Business Daily.

We look into why brooches can be such a powerful accessory. Governor of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina says the brooches she wears contain clues to understanding policy decisions, and the late Madeleine Albright, former US Secretary of State, used to wear them as a diplomatic tool. Jewellery historian Vivienne Becker tells us what it was like to work with Madeleine Albright, and help pen her book Read My Pins.
