First off, these brooches are *stunning* in person—way prettier than the photos suggest. The pearls catch the light just right, and the rhinestones add a subtle sparkle without being tacky.

I’ve worn the gold one on a blazer for a work event and got so many compliments. The pin clasp is sturdy—no sliding or snagging—and the size is perfect: noticeable but not overwhelming.

Surprise favorite use? Pinning a scarf to my winter coat. The silver version looks chic against dark wool, and the wreath design keeps it from looking too ‘grandma.’

Downside? The pearls are glued, not sewn, so I’m gentle with them. For the price though, they’ve held up through multiple wears without issues.

Pro tip: Stack both brooches together on a lapel for serious glam. The gold/silver combo works with everything.
