From delicate Art Deco filigree pins to bold mid-century statement pieces, brooches are among the most versatile and collectible forms of jewelry. These wearable works of art have adorned lapels, scarves, hats, and handbags for centuries, and now, they’re making a stylish comeback in today’s fashion-forward wardrobes.
History You Can Wear
Each estate brooch in our collection is a snapshot of its time. These brooches reflect the artistic movements, cultural influences, and personal stories of the eras they come from. Whether you’re drawn to the floral motifs of the Art Nouveau period, the crisp geometry of Art Deco, or the romantic sparkle of mid-century rhinestones and gems, there’s a brooch here that speaks your language.
Many of our brooches are handcrafted in 10k, 14k, or 18k gold or sterling silver, often featuring gemstones like garnet, amethyst, diamond, seed pearls, or sapphire.

Why Choose Estate Brooches?
Estate brooches offer more than just beauty; they offer history, sustainability, and individuality. Choosing vintage is a way to wear something truly one-of-a-kind while supporting a more sustainable form of fashion.

Whether you're a collector, a first-time buyer, or looking for the perfect gift, a vintage brooch is a thoughtful and lasting treasure. It’s not just an accessory, it’s a conversation piece, a memory, a legacy.
Caring for Your Vintage Brooch
To keep your brooch in excellent condition, store it in a soft pouch away from other pieces to prevent scratching. Clean it gently with a soft brush and mild soap if needed. Check that the pin mechanism is secure before each wear, especially for older or antique designs.
