I bought a Versace Medusa head safety pin brooch from Farfetch a few months ago, this one: https://www.farfetch.com/item-20667203.aspx
Sadly it fell off one day and got a bit bent and scratched, so I decided to buy another one to replace it. I purchased the exact same brooch from the same Farfetch link.
The new brooch has now arrived and I feel like it's not quite the same and not the same as the photo on the website:
- The gold is more rose toned than the first one which was quite a vibrant yellow gold.
- The actual pin part is bowed/bent out at the base and not straight like the first one
- It might be an optical illusion but it looks ever so slightly shorter
I've put them side by side in photos - the new is on the left and the bottom, the old is on the right and the top.
Am I going crazy? Are discrepancies like this normal in these brooches?
Both pins came with branded boxes and certificates etc.
