Pins & Brooches


I have to admit that pins and brooches are my least favourite pieces of jewellery. For some reason I have associated them with older ages and thus the thought of wearing one has been demotivating for years. I grew to like them when I started using them to accessorise my winter hats and thus I have associated them with winter. As it is starting to get cold I decided that it was about time I remind myself of the pins and brooches I have. This one caught my eyes as it is one of the first pieces of jewellery that my sister created. It is very basic and as it is quite big I usually wear it with heavy sweaters. Since then her pin and brooch designs have become more articulated. She has also managed to create pieces for younger and modern girls.

One of my favourite designs is the following dress one.

It's made with felt, swarovski crystals and metal. Unfortunately this one hasn't ended up in my jewellery box but she gave it as a birthday present to a close friend.

Another favourite is the following more sophisticated one. 


For this one she used corals, swarovski crystals and lava rock. This one was given as a gift to one of my mum's best friends. Despite it's 'mature' look I would definitely wear it.

I have to apologise for the poor quality of the two photos but I can't get new ones as both of the brooches are with their rightful owners. Needless to say that they are loved and wore on a regular basis.

I love how she mixes different materials and ends up with designs for various styles and ages. She has plenty more back home but unfortunately no photos. I promise to upload more once I am back home. It is true that it has been a while since she made something new so indirectly with this post I am trying to encourage her to use her imagination and surprise me with amazing new designs which I promise to continue to share.
