First off, let's talk about the looks. This brooch is absolutely stunning! The purple enamel and cubic zirconia details give it a luxurious feel without breaking the bank. The pearl in the center adds a vintage touch that I personally adore. It's the kind of piece that makes people stop and ask, 'Where did you get that?'

Now, onto the size. At about 1” by 2”, it's perfect for adding a subtle yet elegant accent to any outfit. Whether it's a blazer, dress, or even a scarf, this brooch elevates your look instantly. I've worn it to both casual outings and more formal events, and it never feels out of place.

But here's the catch—the pin mechanism isn't perfect. Some users mentioned issues with the clasp being glued shut or not sturdy enough. In my experience, while it hasn't failed me yet, I can see how it might not hold up over time if you're not careful. If you're buying this for daily wear, that's something to keep in mind.

Another thing worth noting is the color. While the purple is gorgeous, don't expect the exact shading you see in the product photos. It's still beautiful, just slightly different from what’s advertised.

Overall, this brooch is a great buy if you're looking for something delicate and pretty without spending a fortune. Just handle it with care, and it’ll be a lovely addition to your jewelry collection.
