New Members Rob256 Posted August 19, 2017 at 04:48 PM New Members Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 at 04:48 PM I picked up a brooch at a flea market - sterling silver and made by Wui Kee jewellers in Hong Kong, but I have no idea what the text says. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 19, 2017 at 10:46 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 at 10:46 PM It looks like it is meant to be the word "福". But I find the strokes confusing.

New Members Rob256 Posted August 20, 2017 at 01:36 AM Author New Members Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 at 01:36 AM Thanks. I think you may be right as "good luck" or "happiness" would make sense for a piece of jewellery. Of course, when it comes to jewellery it doesn't always make sense. A few years back my mother-in-law proudly showed me a bracelet she'd picked up at a local car boot sale engraved "下痢" which, if I'm not mistaken, is Japanese for "diarrhoea". In the absence of a definitive answer, therefore, I will choose to believe the brooch says "good luck". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
