5 ways to style a vintage brooch like a boss

It's that time of year, the air is crisp and you can finally wear a blazer without sweating off your makeup. We are so tempted to pick up a new cropped jacket in every color, or a tailored blazer to sharpen up our wardrobe. 

As a jeweler, and vintage jewelry collector, I find it's time to show off our broaches. From a cameo to a mason lodge pin, any of these can be used to add a story to your outfit. 

Vintage gold brooches are timeless treasures that can transform any outfit with a touch of elegance and charm. Whether you’re dressing up for a special event or adding a little glam to your everyday look, this versatile accessory is a must-have. At Elissar Couture, we believe in making luxury fun, so let's dive into a few effortless ways you can rock that vintage brooch.

1. Pin It on Your Blazer


A gold brooch can elevate your classic blazer in seconds. Whether you’re heading to a business meeting or brunch with friends, pin it on the lapel of your favorite blazer for that extra touch of sophistication. Bonus points if it complements a monochrome or neutral outfit! Style tip, wear more than one at a time! Cluster different styles and shapes to get a unique look.

2. Wear as a pendant


Did you know that most vintage brooches or cameos have a hidden bail? They are designed to be able to pin on your outfit or worn through a chain. Find your favorite gold chain and slide your favorite brooch through it. 

3. Add Sparkle to a Dress or Top


Why not swap a necklace for a brooch? Attach it near the neckline of a simple dress or top for a pop of vintage glam. Perfect for when you want to make a subtle yet bold statement.

4. Make Your Scarf Shine


Brooches aren’t just for clothes. Use your vintage piece to keep your scarf in place while looking ultra-chic. Pinning it in the center or off to the side adds dimension and pulls the entire look together.

5. Style It in Your Hair


For a unique and unexpected twist, add your vintage gold brooch to an updo or a loose bun. It's a great way to sparkle at special events like weddings, parties, or any occasion where you want to stand out.
