I am getting into vintage brooches especially Gripoix. This is great thread! we need to revive this. Anyway, what is everyone's recommendation for using brooch in summer? Winter, i can use on scarf, jackets etc...but summer is hard.

Depending on the clasp and how it lays, I'll pin it on a necklace and wear it as a pendant.

I thrifted two lovely parrot fur clips today.

I love parrots and any kind of bird clips. These are fabulous!

Acquisitions!

Sterling silver Ming's hibiscus, a Ming's jade parallelogram with a gold phoenix, and a jade pi with gold frame. The pi had spot for a bail, but no bail. So I added a ring and I wear it like a pendant. Also a plumeria and an ʻIʻiwi - a Hawaiian honeycreeper.

Hi! I have a ton of pins / brooches but I seldom wear them anymore. It feels out of date as I never see anyone wearing them. Am I wrong though? Does anyone still wear them? If so, how and when? On blazers, sweaters? Work only or also just out-and-about?
