What is a silver-tone brooch?
It is a fashion brooch with a cool silver finish, chosen for its shine and versatility. Because it goes with everything, it is an easy first brooch and a natural one to collect, ready to move from a work outfit to an evening look without a change of jewellery.
Does a silver-tone brooch go with everything?
Almost. Silver-tone is the most adaptable finish there is. A few pointers:
- With cool colours: blue, grey, white and pastels, for a crisp, harmonious look.
- On black or denim, where it adds a clean, modern sparkle.
- Alongside silver-tone earrings or a necklace, for a pulled-together finish.
Silver-tone or gold-tone: how to choose?
Silver-tone suits cool complexions and everyday wear, while gold-tone brooches feel warmer and dressier. Neither is more correct than the other, and wearing the two together is very much in style, so pick the finish you are drawn to and that matches your other jewellery.
A fastening for every outfit
Depending on the model, a silver-tone brooch fastens with a classic pin or with a magnet. The magnetic option holds with no hole and no mark, perfect on fine knit or a delicate scarf. To fasten one without piercing the fabric, see our magnetic brooches.
