Vintage brooches are hot now. Designers often use Swarovski crystals and faux pearls creating their masterpieces. Thus it's not that expensive and still fascinating. Brooches are usually made of gold, silver or rhodium plated stainless steel.

Stylists recommend attaching brooches to tweed jackets paired with jeans or classic pants. However, you can also decorate a crisp white blouse with it or to fasten a silk scarf over a tank top. A brooch is the best way to add an up-to-date twist to a business look.

If you've made up your mind to acquire an extremely stylish brooch, go hunting to an antique shop, consignment shop or to a flea market. With a bit of luck you will find several items of similar design, e.g., floral or astronomical. A conceptually united group of brooches makes stronger impression. Be extremely careful with the old stuff, choosing an antique brooch, it could be difficult to repair.

A good source for inspiration and searches is your granny’s old jewelry box. You'd better avoid geometric-style brooches of 60-s and folk-style brooches. But, you know, fashion has cycles and who can say what will return next.
