A brooch is jewelry for a coat. These go on a lapel, a scarf knot, a hat band or a bag strap. Most are crocheted by hand. A few are strung and set instead, in baroque pearl, shell and stone, and their pages say so.
Size and weight vary. The Pearl Nest Brooch is 4.7 cm across and 6 g. The Camellia Brooch is 7 cm across and 14 g. The Silver Calla Brooch is the heaviest, at 18 g. Every brooch closes with a pin back. The size line gives its measurements and the weight line its grams.
The wire is silver-plated, gold-tone or colored. Stems and bases are mostly 18K gold-plated or palladium-plated. Several carry a freshwater cultured pearl. Nothing is solid gold or solid sterling.
Store each brooch in its drawer box with the pin closed, and keep it dry. Every order ships in a paper drawer box, which doubles as the gift box.
Questions about brooches
How do I wear a brooch?
Pin it through a firm layer: a coat lapel, a jacket, a knotted scarf, a hat band. The heavier brooches, 14–18 g, sit best on coat-weight fabric.
Are they heavy?
From 5 g to 18 g. The weight line on each page gives the exact figure.
Are the pearls real?
Pearls listed as freshwater cultured are real cultured pearls. The pearl line on each page names the type and the color.
Is it solid gold?
No. Nothing here is solid gold or solid sterling. The metal is mostly brass or copper, plated or colored, and most gold tones carry 18K gold plating. The material line on each page names the exact finish.
Can I return a brooch?
