The heart brooch, a symbol of love and tenderness
Timeless and romantic, the heart brooch moves through the decades without ever dating. A universal symbol of love and affection, it gives an outfit a tender, meaningful note. At Ma Broche it comes in a wealth of fashion styles: hearts set with sparkling crystals, gold-tone or silver-tone designs, double hearts, interlinked hearts and soft pink gradients.

What does a heart brooch symbolise?
The heart is the most direct symbol there is for love, tenderness and closeness. A single heart speaks of pure affection, two interlinked hearts evoke a bond between two people, and several layered hearts suggest a fuller, warmer feeling. Crystal finishes and pink gold add a precious touch, while black and white gives a more graphic look. Whatever the style, a heart worn close to your own says something words sometimes cannot.
A gift idea straight from the heart
Nothing says affection quite like a heart. A heart brooch makes a gift full of meaning, perfect for Valentine's Day, a birthday, Mother's Day or simply to say "thinking of you". Personal and affordable, it tucks into a card or a small parcel and never misses, whether you give it to a partner, a friend, a mother or a daughter. It is one of the safe bets among our brooches for women.
How to wear a heart brooch
The heart brooch loves visible spots, close to your own heart: the lapel of a jacket, the collar of a coat, the shoulder of a jumper, a scarf or the strap of a bag. Wear a single heart for an understated touch, or group two or three for a bolder, layered effect. It pairs naturally with gold-tone or silver-tone jewellery in the same finish.
A fastening for every outfit
Depending on the model, a heart brooch fastens with a classic pin or with a magnet. The magnetic version holds with no hole and no mark, ideal on a fine blouse or a delicate scarf you would rather not pierce. To fasten it without piercing the fabric, see our magnetic brooches.
