At Ma Broche, these are fashion brooches in gold-tone or silver-tone metal, to wear on a coat, a jacket or a bag, or to give as a gift. A tender, expressive touch for every day.
Animal brooches, a whole menagerie to wear
Animal brooches are among the most loved of all, and it is easy to see why: each one has character. At Ma Broche they come in gold-tone or silver-tone metal, with enamel, rhinestones and marbled-effect cabochons, from playful cats to loyal dogs, wise owls and long-lived turtles. Tender and expressive, they add a smile to a coat, a jacket or a bag. To browse every motif, see our brooch collection.

An animal brooch makes a lovely gift
Few presents feel as personal as an animal that means something to someone. An animal brooch is a gift that hits the mark for an animal lover, a cat for a cat person, a dog for a dog owner, an owl for a book lover. It suits every age, tucks into a card and is ready to wear straight away, which is why it is one of the safe bets among our brooches for women.
How to wear an animal brooch
Pin it high on a lapel or a collar, on the shoulder of a coat, on a scarf or on the strap of a bag. A single animal makes a charming focal point; a small group looks playful and collected. Match the metal to your other jewellery for a tidy finish.
A fastening for every outfit
Depending on the model, an animal brooch fastens with a classic pin or with a magnet. The magnetic option holds with no hole and no mark, ideal on delicate fabrics. See our magnetic brooches to fasten one without piercing the cloth.
