Antique 18k Gold LFG Certified Natural Pearl Diamond Bow Brooch
Located in Versailles, FR
Elegant, beautiful and feminine, the bow is a fine jewelry motif that never seems to go out of style. The bow jewelry, also a traditional symbol of love and romance, is also a sentimental gift to offer or to receive. But this is not the only reason why we love this magnificent diamond bow brooch : this exceptional piece is made of two natural pearls, certified by LFG. (French gemological laboratory). Its certificate proves that the larger baroque pearl on the bottom, is a natural fresh water pearl in good luster; while the smaller round shaped pearl in the center of the bow is a natural salt water pearl in very good luster. The larger pearl is attached to the brooch by its original hoop system on the back - the pearl can be detached from the brooch to be worn as a pendant and the bow can be used to hold another piece such as a pocket watch. (please see the last photo to show you). People have coveted natural pearls as symbols of wealth and status for thousands of years. A natural pearl forms in a pearl-bearing mollusk with no human intervention or assistance. Pearl culturing, plastic buttons, and oil drilling...

Van Cleef & Arpels Diamond Coral Clematis Brooch, circa 1960s
Located in New York, NY
One of the more notable features of the Clematis Brooch by Van Cleef & Arpels are the five petals, sometimes heart shaped and outlined in gold, sometimes made of dark highly polished wood or mother of pearl, or freely depicted in coral that ranges in coloration from pale to saturated. Few Clematis Brooches possess such overall lyrical movement as this example from the 1960s, however. The particular arrangement of these five coral petals is dynamic, and the exquisite carving makes them seem to lilt musically. A trademark of the Maison, flowers in their blooming glory appear to gracefully come to life. The curved stem and single leaf, in this brooch wrought in 18K yellow gold with naturalistic stamping on the leaf, adds to its delicate charm. Collectors should take note that coral has become an endangered species material since this piece was made, thus enhancing the value of coral Clematis Brooches extant. Characteristic of the Clematis Brooch—and also of the Maison’s coral...

Antique and Vintage Brooches

Antique and vintage brooches, which are decorative jewels traditionally pinned to garments and used to fasten pieces of clothing together where needed, have seen increasing popularity in recent years.

Given their long history, brooches have expectedly taken on a variety of different shapes and forms over time, with jewelers turning to assorted methods of ornamentation for these accessories, including enameling and the integration of pearls and gemstones.

Cameo brooches that originated during the Victorian age are characterized by a shell carved in raised relief that feature portraits of a woman’s profile, while 19th-century micromosaic brooches, comprising innumerable individually placed glass fragments, sometimes feature miniature depictions of a pastoral scene in daily Roman life.

At one time, brooches were symbols of wealth, made primarily from the finest metals and showcasing exquisite precious gemstones. Today, these jewels are inclusive and universal, and you don’t have to travel very far to find an admirer of brooches. They can be richly geometric in form, such as the ornate diamond pins dating from the Art Deco era, or designer-specific, such as the celebrated naturalistic works created by Tiffany & Co., the milk glass and gold confections crafted by Trifari or handmade vintage Chanel brooches of silk or laminated sheer fabric.

Brooches are versatile and adaptable. These decorative accessories can be worn in your hair, on hats, scarves and on the lower point of V-neck clothing. Pin a dazzling brooch to the lapel of your blazer-and-tee combo or add a cluster of smaller pins to your overcoat. And while brooches have their place in “mourning jewelry,” in that a mourning brooch is representative of your connection to a lost loved one, they’re widely seen as romantic and symbolic of love, so much so that a hardcore brooch enthusiast might advocate for brooches to be worn over the heart.

Today, find a wide variety of antique and vintage brooches on 1stDibs, including gold brooches, sapphire brooches and more.
