Antique brooches

An antique brooch is a piece of jewellery fitted with a pin and clasp on the reverse. It attaches to a garment, whose fabric must be able to support its weight. Its construction combines a decorative front with a fastening mechanism. The length of the pin, its hinge and the clasp therefore deserve as much consideration as the design.

The current stock at Satti Jewelry includes brooches from the middle of the twentieth century and the Retro period. Their shapes, materials and stone arrangements provide a basis for comparing their compositions. Your choice also depends on the intended garment, its thickness and the preferred position.

When examining an antique brooch, look at the marks. Depending on their type and legibility, they may provide information about the metal or maker. Also consider the antique cuts of the stones: their proportions and facets influence how they reflect light. Condition requires separate attention. Signs of wear, repairs and the consistency of the stone settings matter when assessing the piece. Check that the stones are secure and that the clasp functions properly.

Satti Jewelry offers complimentary insured delivery. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece. These services accompany your purchase of an antique brooch selected according to its characteristics and your intended use.
