Vintage signed brooches

Our selection of vintage brooches for men and women

Why wear a vintage brooch?

The brooch goes hand in hand with boldness; it is not a static piece of jewelry; it can be worn in a thousand ways, from offbeat on the shoulder to classic on the lapel of a jacket. The brooch is the most creative piece of jewelry, lending itself to infinite combinations, different stones, different shapes, different colors. The brooch lover will favor design.

How to choose your brooch?

Although the ancient brooch originally had a practical function, serving to fasten a garment, its use became ornamental during the Renaissance. An affirmation of wealth, the men's brooch also served as a sign of recognition. It signified their membership in associations and rewarded their actions.
These days, brooches are ornamental. Some collect flowers, others bows, or even animals from the 1950s.

What are the trends in women's brooches?

XXL vintage brooches are once again appearing on outfits and coats. A trend launched by Gabrielle Chanel, who loved to spice up her sleek dresses with a profusion of jewelry, then adopted by Saint Laurent, who was fond of oriental pieces: the couturier's brooches created in the 70s and 80s reflect his passion for sumptuous jewelry. Later, Christian Lacroix's heart brooch brightened jacket lapels.
These designs are once again highly sought-after. Their graphic design and exuberance will add a twist to any understated outfit. Similarly, secondhand brooches featuring animals, playful motifs, or flowers allow you to express your personality. The Hermès Pavane brooch or enamel carriage brooch are true marvels.

Are brooches coming back into fashion?

Fashion is like jewelry. Just as we thought they were almost forgotten, brooches are once again on every elegant woman and fashionista. Designer vintage brooches are once again making their way down the red carpet. On the street during the day, at dinner parties in the evening, they're everywhere and they're visible.

Antique brooches add style and enhance an outfit. Now's the time to find the one that will personalize your outfit for your next outing.
