Collector's items full of
personality - a sparkle through the ages

From ancient brooches of the Bronze Age, which were called brooches at the time, to ornate masterpieces of Art Nouveau and Art Deco - each era has shaped its own styles and trends. The brooches of antiquity were not only made of gold and precious stones, but glass beads were also used as imitations for turquoise and lapis lazuli. A preserved golden pin from the treasure of Troy (2300-2100 BC) with its depiction of miniature vessels and decorations shows the fine craftsmanship that was already possible at that time. In the Victorian era (England 1837-1901), a different kind of craftsmanship showed its skills: Magnificent brooches impressed with romantic designs, enamel, precious stones and pearls. Art Nouveau in Europe (1895-1910) was characterized by organic forms, natural motifs, abstract ornamental and even abstract geometric motifs and continues to delight collectors to this day. France's Art Deco style brought a geometric, clear and abstract form often combined with diamonds, enamel and precious stones.

The old brooches have retained their magic to this day. It doesn't have to be one of the Cullinan diamond brooches that Queen Elizabeth II loved to wear, with individual diamonds ranging from 530.2 to 18.5 carats. No matter what you are looking for, our antique brooches will make your heart beat faster - be it a collector's item with historical significance or a fashion accessory.

Antique brooches for every occasion - wear them to suit your taste!

Perhaps you remember the family portrait with your great-great-aunt Hertha: she proudly wears a gigantic garnet brooch on her chest. Perhaps this is even an heirloom. But the days when an antique brooch was the equivalent of a man's chest adorned with medals are over. Today, brooches are an expression of individual style and personality. Used brooches can therefore be worn in a variety of ways and add that certain something to any outfit. Here are a few modern styling ideas:

  1. Decorate the sleeves of your blouse or denim shirt with a pretty vintage brooch. This will turn every movement into an eye-catcher.
  2. Accentuate your turtleneck, shirt or blouse collar with antique brooches.
  3. Decorate caps or hats with an original pin - you are guaranteed to stand out.
  4. Use brooches as stylish collar fasteners. A delicate piece of jewelry in silver or gold elegantly enhances any outfit.

Brooch or pin - what's the difference?

Both are pieces of jewelry that you can easily attach to your clothing to create your own personal style. Nevertheless, there are a few differences that you should bear in mind when designing them:

Brooches are often characterized by their eye-catching and decorative details. They are appreciated because they are perfect as accessories for blouses, jackets, scarves or bags. From antique and playful to elegant and vintage-inspired, brooches offer a wide range of style options. With their larger surface area, they are securely attached with either a pin or a clip and add a special touch to plain-colored garments in particular.

Pin badges are simpler and usually less conspicuous. However, you can use them in a variety of ways, as they go well with more complex outfits. The pins combine simplicity with functionality and give your person an elegant touch. They look particularly good on patterned garments and also on the lapel of a suit.

A vintage brooch alone isn't enough sparkle for you? You can also play around with vintage pendants. Elegant men combine a lapel pin with antique cufflinks or a high-quality vintage watch.
