A Little Bit About Brooches and Pins

A vintage costume brooch or jewelry pin can say a great deal about a personal style. Bright Bakelite, rhinestone Christmas pins, and floral designs all bring their own bit of history to a coat, scarf, or display.

Georgian and Victorian pieces remain favorites for collectors, while Edwardian brooches are often lighter and Art Deco designs bring a wide variety of materials and forms. The maker, materials, condition, and era all help tell the story of a piece.
