Enhance your outfit with a luxury jewelry brooch

The jewelry brooch is an accessory with a unique and innovative style that enhances your outfit. Indeed, it is a rare jewel, which can take the form of a small brooch, a pin or a discreet peak, just like a beautiful jewelry brooch.


The jewelry brooch, a timeless luxury accessory


The story of the brooch

The brooch is a very old decoration. Indeed, it was found originally, from the Bronze Age under the name of fibula, and it had above all a function: that of holding clothes. Subsequently, especially during Greece and Ancient Rome, fibulae were adorned with various stones and precious metals: amethyst, solid silver, solid gold, etc. Thus, the brooch has become a real piece of jewelry, first more for men than for women.

Subsequently, the brooch experienced two major periods of growth. The first in European countries, and particularly in Paris in the 17th and 18th century, especially during the time of nobility and royalty. The brooches are then adorned with diamonds, emeralds or rubies, thanks to the many mines discovered in African countries and America.

The second great boom period for jewelry brooches and pins was the 1920s, particularly with the arrival of Art Deco and luxury. During this same period, many jewelery houses with worldwide renown developed in Paris, making the jewelery brooch an essential accessory. Indeed, at that time, fashion in Paris was unique in the world, designers worked there with mother-of-pearl, pearls, diamonds and other stones like a real art.

Today, brooches are unique luxury creations, which add a distinctive touch to an outfit or an evening dress. These pieces are rare and thus give great personality and originality to the wearer. The most beautiful brooches are made of gold or platinum and are adorned with pearls, crystals, gems, and sometimes even mother-of-pearl flowers. Paris is still the main place of origin of these creations, but they are also found in other countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom.


The different types of jewelry brooches

There are a variety of styles of jewelry brooches. Some can be very geometric and abstract (usually Art Deco). Brooches can also be imposing and unique pieces and sometimes even custom-made.

Then, many brooches, especially at Maison Bäumer, are inspired by the animal world, in particular insects (butterfly brooch, beetle brooch) and spiders. Nature in general is a great source of inspiration: flower, bird, etc. These brooches can be gifts for various occasions such as weddings, births, etc. A unique gift that appeals to a woman or a girl equally, whatever the occasion.

Maison Bäumer offers brooches of all sizes, ranging from jewelry brooches ( small spider brooch ) to high jewelry brooches ( extravagant spider ). These different sizes and price ranges make it possible to find brooches suitable for all budgets and all occasions. Whether for everyday use or for more special events.

The criteria for choosing a luxury jewelry brooch

A brooch is a unique jewel, which gives great personality and originality. It is therefore essential to choose the one that we like and represents us. For this, several criteria are important.


Metal: gold, silver, platinum

Brooches can be made of different metals. . Those at more reasonable prices are sometimes in silver. Nevertheless, in jewelry and fine jewelry, brooches are generally fashioned in gold or platinum. Sterling silver is a metal that tends to oxidize, and which offers less resistance compared to a metal like gold. However, silver can create a vintage effect that is appreciated, especially for a fancy piece.

Gold comes in many colors, including white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and even black gold. The choice of the color of gold is essential, because it will be worn differently depending on the colors of the clothes, the eyes or even the skin tone.

Finally, the choice of gold color also depends on the choice of stones, and more particularly their color.


Precious stones: diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds

Then you have to choose the stones, their size and their carats according to the desired effect and personal preferences. Indeed, a paving of diamonds or pink sapphires can be extremely attractive on a high jewelry brooch. One or more larger carat stones or pearls usually adorn the creation. If quality is paramount, the choice of stone colors is made according to the tastes and desires of the customer. A multi-carat pink ruby ​​pairs perfectly with the white diamond, whether in a rose gold or white gold setting. Some stones such as diamonds have special meanings: the diamond is the emblematic stone of marriage and can be an ideal gift for his wife on a special occasion such as marriage.


The style: classic, modern, vintage, fancy

The choice of style is important because it directly impacts the entire design and, therefore, the previously mentioned criteria. It is essential to define it upstream, especially during a tailor-made creation, because the choice of style guides the creation as a whole.

The style of the brooch must also be in line with the general style (especially clothing) of the person. Indeed, the Art Deco style goes perfectly with second-hand jewelry, or fancy vintage accessories.

When it comes to a gift, for his daughter for example, it is important to know his tastes or the collection of his other jewels. Some people prefer pearls, others diamonds, and finally you have to know how to choose between a pin between white gold, pink or platinum, depending on the fashion. Sometimes crystal, enamel or pearl can be a very good choice, offering a beautiful designer piece of jewelry at a lower price than a large cut and carat diamond. Finally, a brooch can recall a tender occasion shared with a loved one: a starry sky, a country visited, the origin of love,... This object crosses generations and the details integrated by the creator reveal more richness.

How to wear a luxury jewelry brooch?

The pin port is very free. Indeed, the pin can be pinned at the level of the torso, the heart, or on a jacket lapel, according to your preference.

The creator is sometimes led to think of this port as an integral part of the creation of the jewel. Some Maison Bäumer brooches, such as the Noeud brooch , paved with diamonds, can also be worn as a pendant.

Smaller (and more affordable) brooches can be worn daily, whether it's out to a restaurant or even at work. On the other hand, high jewelry brooches are generally worn in chic evenings, galas, such as the butterfly brooch or the bird brooch adorned with pearls and have many details (star sapphires, enamel, etc.).

Wearing a brooch completely depends on a person's clothing style. The choice of how to wear it is therefore just as important as the rest (choice of materials, stones, etc.). This plays a vital role in showcasing creation. Finally, brooches can be paired with other jewelry or accessories that the person wears. These may belong to the same collection or share the same vintage or art deco style.
