A silver-tone brooch is probably the easiest to wear: its silver-tone metal finish goes with almost every colour and style, without ever overdoing it.

A colour that works with every style
Neither too flashy nor too plain, silver-tone has a timeless charm that suits every age and every trend. It recalls vintage jewellery while remaining resolutely modern, which makes it a safe bet whenever you are unsure about the colour of an accessory.
Every design in a silver-tone version
Silver-tone metal is not limited to one style: it spans a whole menagerie and a garden full of designs. You will find animal brooches and flower brooches with a silver-tone finish, alongside butterflies, geometric shapes, hearts and trees of life. Plenty of choice to find the design that suits you, always in this elegant shade that is so easy to match.
How do you wear a silver-tone brooch?
The great strength of silver-tone is its versatility: it goes with black, white, pastels and bright colours alike, and particularly flatters cool skin tones. You can wear it almost anywhere:
- on a jacket or blazer lapel, to give structure to your silhouette;
- on the collar of a shirt or coat, to draw the eye towards the face;
- on a scarf, a silk square, a hat or a bag strap, to vary the way you wear it.
Wear a single brooch for a discreet touch, or several for a bolder, very on-trend effect. Think about matching it with your silver-tone jewellery too, earrings or a necklace, for a harmonious look from top to toe.
Gold-tone or silver-tone?
It all depends on the effect you are after: silver-tone is understated and fresh, while gold-tone warms and brightens. Nothing stops you mixing the two; in fact it is very much in fashion. To compare, take a look at our gold-tone brooches.
A silver-tone brooch that fastens with or without a pin
Depending on the model, your silver-tone brooch fastens with a magnetic clasp or a classic pin. The magnetic version goes on with no hole and no pin and leaves no mark on delicate fabrics, while the pin offers a traditional, secure hold. To see only the magnetic models, head to our magnetic brooches.
