Collectible Vintage Brooches

Considered true works of art, vintage brooches are large pins that are heavily decorated with gemstones, jewels, or pearls and are highly collectible, attention-grabbing pieces of jewelry. Brooches that were worn during the 30s through the 60s are sought after by many, including myself.
I've been collecting vintage brooches for the last ten years and can tell you everything you need to know about vintage brooches. Signed antique brooches, Victorian vintage brooches, Ciner, Weiss, Eisenberg, Hobe, Miriam Haskell, Schiaparelli, Schreiner, Kramer, Lisner, Trifari, Monet, Renoir, Hattie Carnegie, Carolee, Corocraft, Pennino, Vogue, Art Deco, and Bakelite are all prized pieces in my vintage brooch collection.
