Vintage Sparkling Brooches

Chanel Brooch

Nothing can compliment a simple top or a well tailored jacket like a beautiful brooch. Everyone who has supported my vintage accessories enterprise over the last twelve months, will know I love selling brooches. They appeal to everyone. Brooches come in such a huge diverse range of shapes, styles, materials and colour, there is definitely something to suit everyone.  In particular I love butterflies, birds and floral designs. However, tropical fish and elephants are a huge collecting field.

Living in the northern hemisphere where a black coat, trench or cardigan is a necessity, adding a vintage brooch can add a touch of inexpensive glamour.  It is a fact, vintage costume jewellery brooches produced over the last century, were made with superior craftsmanship. Particular designer names (other than the amazing Chanel or Dior) to look out for are Coro and Corocraft, Fahrner (art deco), and Lisner. Unsigned pieces are just as beautiful and share the same quality of design, materials and craftsmanship.
