Brooching the Subject

Published on Thursday 16th October 2008

Granny has been wearing one for years, but brooches are officially this season’s must-have accessory. And when buying a whole new outfit just isn’t an option, it’s the perfect way to brighten up a tired ensemble.

Avoid looking dowdy by buying brooches in pairs and pinning them diagonally on a jacket or dress.

The place to rummage for unique brooches (aside from Grandma’s jewellery box, that is) is Treasure Box. Living up to its name, the site has a fantastic selection to pick from, ensuring that you bag a beautiful brooch that defines you.

The large scorpion design would make a great present for a friend with a Scorpio star sign, or for one with a sting in their tail. Alternatively, the simpler crystal rosette is also an elegant choice. Rest assured you will be hot on trend.
