How do I wear a brooch?

Brooches attach securely to garments using a pin and catch mechanism on the reverse side. They sit well on lapels, collars, scarves, and heavy sweaters. Many period examples include hidden bails or loops on the back, allowing the owner to suspend the piece from a chain as a pendant.

How do I tell Edwardian from Victorian styles?

Victorian brooches often feature heavier yellow gold settings, romantic motifs, and darker stones or dense seed pearl clusters. They reflect the sentimental tastes of the nineteenth century. Edwardian pieces tend to use lighter mountings, platinum, and delicate openwork trellis patterns. These designs favour bright peridots paired with diamonds and pearls.

Are these brooches convertible?

Several period brooches feature removable pin stems or integrated loops that transform the item into a pendant. This dual function was popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Owners can wear the piece pinned to fabric during the day and suspended from a necklace for evening occasions.

What metals are used in these settings?

These items employ a variety of precious metals depending on their date of origin and place of manufacture. Common options include yellow gold, 9ct gold, 15ct gold, silver, and platinum. Some Edwardian and Art Deco pieces combine silver and gold or utilise white gold and platinum to enhance the sparkle of accent diamonds.
