Vintage jewellery has always impressed lovers of fashion and jewellery. Within the world of jewellery, brooches have formed a subcategory with a rich history and timeless elegance. Below we will discuss vintage brooches in a bit more detail, both their origins and contemporary popularity will be discussed and various styles will be described.
The history of brooches begins in ancient times. The term "brooch" is derived from the French word "brocher," which means fastener. Brooches have been used in recent years as a functional closure for clothing but are also still used today for decorative ends. Meaning and symbolism is therefore central when talking about history. For example, brooches were often worn as status symbols, landmarks or to commemorate a special event.
During the Victorian period (1837~1901), the brooch was most popular. This period was characterized by sentimental jewellery and brooches from this era generally featured floral motifs, cameos and pearls. The designs were inspired by love and mourning and generally used many gemstones such as diamonds, amethysts and sapphires.
In the Art Nouveau period (1890~1910), brooches could be recognized by their organic shapes, stylized flowers and insect motifs. Nature was a huge source of inspiration for jewellery designers at this time.
Next came the Art Deco period (1920~1939) and it was known for its clean lines and geometric shapes. The Art Deco style showed the cultural changes well reflected in the designs, brooches were often used as accessories to create an avant-garde look.
Vintage brooches thus offer a vast wealth of history, style and personality. They are both elegant, unique and timeless. A unique story can be told with each piece and a brooch can be a perfect addition to any collection.
For almost any occasion, vintage jewellery can make a wonderful gift. It is a meaningful gift, whether for a romantic gesture, anniversary, birthday or other special occasion. Jewellery has the power to express emotions and create memories. But if you want to give the recipient freedom in choosing a piece of jewellery or make a contribution, a gift card for vintage jewellery is a perfect option.
A vintage jewellery gift card is more than just a recycled card with a certain value. In this way, you give the recipient of the card a chance to embrace his or her personal style. It is like a ticket to timeless beauty and elegance.
The freedom of choice when you give someone a gift card can be greatly appreciated. It allows the recipient to decide which piece best suits his or her personality. It shows that you show care and attention to specific needs.
The second reason, then, is that you are giving the recipient an unforgettable experience. Picking out a vintage piece of jewellery also means a visit to the store where the recipient can go and admire the unique pieces, try them on and finally pick out something that can be cherished for life.
In addition, it is a sustainable gift. By buying vintage jewellery you reduce the demand and ultimately production of new jewellery, so in this way you also contribute a little to the environment.
Finally, wearing vintage jewellery ensures that the recipient has the opportunity to wear a piece of jewellery with a story, in this way continuing to write the story itself. #continuethestory
