Eighteen Karat Gold Contemporary Bamboo Brooch Featured in Vogue
Located in Berlin, DE
This 18 karat white gold brooch N3 is part of the Bamboo triptych and can be worn in the traditional Chinese calligraphy way. It has been featured in Vogue UA and Elle UA magazines, making it a new must-have item with multiple ways to encrust on your clothes. Designed as a play of "lines and spots," this contemporary jewelry piece takes inspiration from the principles of Asian ink calligraphy, where bamboo traditionally symbolizes the wisdom of flexibility. The natural texture and lines of the brooch are complemented by the artist's use of beautiful gold, creating an eye-catching and elegant piece that retains its shine and beauty over time, unlike silver that requires cleaning every year or two. Although, silver can be attractive in some wabi-sabi designs because of its softness. The Bamboo brooch is a perfect gift for a philosopher, art collector, or fashion enthusiast searching for new lines and jewelry ideas. It also makes for an ideal present for three friends or family members, symbolizing union. This limited edition piece was designed in 2010 by oil painter and ink calligraphist Polya Medvedeva...

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.
