Vintage Brooches

Vintage brooches are like little snapshots of the decades they came from. A marcasite bow from the 1930s feels completely different from a bright enamel flower of the 1950s or a sculptural silver design from the 1960s, and that variety is a big part of their appeal. You’ll find gold, sterling silver and silver gilt alongside enamel, marcasite, glass and gemstone-set pieces, with everything from florals and animals to abstract and figural designs.
Many were originally made as everyday dress accessories rather than pieces to sit in a jewellery box, which is why they still work so well on jackets, coats, scarves and knitwear today. If you prefer the earlier symbolism and construction of Victorian or Edwardian pieces, the antique brooches collection is the natural place to continue browsing.
