On structured blazers and lapels for business meetings or art gallery events.
Clustered on jackets or coats for a statement editorial look.

This piece transitions beautifully from daytime sophistication to evening charm, making it a versatile addition to your collection or a meaningful gift for nature lovers, vintage collectors, or those who appreciate wearable art.
The Lost Art of Enamel
Enameling is a centuries-old technique requiring meticulous handcraftsmanship, where powdered glass is fused to metal under high heat to create vivid, lasting color. Many modern jewelers no longer produce intricate enamel pieces due to the labor-intensive process, making vintage enamel jewelry highly collectible and irreplaceable.
Care & Storage
To preserve the beauty of your enamel brooch:
Storage: Keep in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching.
Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which may damage enamel.
Wearing: Put on after applying perfume or hairspray to prevent residue on enamel.
Why Collect Vintage Gold & Enamel Jewelry?
Gold remains a solid investment as prices continue to rise, while enamel work offers a unique blend of color and artistry not found in modern mass production. Pieces like this brooch are wearable, collectible art, bringing individuality and timeless elegance to your wardrobe while retaining strong resale and heirloom value.
