SECRET GARDEN

Why settle for a corsage when you can have a horticultural paradise?

Clockwise from top left: White gold, platinum and multi-gem Bird brooch, GRAFF. Titanium, white gold and multi-gem Black Label Masterpiece II Marguerite Brooch, Cindy Chao. Gold and multi-gem Peacock brooch, Tiffany & Co. White gold, pink gold, emerald, tsavorite garnet and diamond Romeo & Juliet – Balcone brooch, Van Cleef & Arpels. White gold and multi-gem Jardin Mystérieux brooch, MIKIMOTO

There’s nothing like a well-placed brooch to add a talking point to your outfit. Create visual impact with a generously sized number like MIKIMOTO’s Jardin Mystérieux brooch—where diamond-studded gates open to reveal a lush garden scene under a midnight sky. Or show off your nature-loving side with Tiffany & Co.’s maharani-worthy Peacock brooch, which pays homage to the earth’s wondrous creatures. From GRAFF’s darling Bird brooch featuring a mother feeding its chick (with a diamond, no less) to Van Cleef & Arpels’s ivy-trailing Romeo & Juliet – Balcone brooch with a secret of its own (the underside reveals Shakespeare’s beloved characters, crafted in pink gold, holding hands), it’s visual poetry told through a kaleidoscope of gems and precious metal. All you have to do is decide where you’d like to pin the beauty.
