Magnetic Multicoloured Fishbone Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel

A multicoloured fishbone brooch in soft pastel shades

The Magnetic Multicoloured Fishbone Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel has a horizontal stylised fishbone outline. Its triangular turquoise head includes a round black and white eye; a blue central spine leads to a pink two-lobed tail. Ten curved ribs form five matching pairs in pale yellow, purple, yellow-orange, green and pink. Head, spine, ribs and tail stand out at a glance; nothing more is claimed about the motif. The design sits naturally among our fish brooches.

Allow for the measured horizontal outline

We measured the piece directly: it is exactly 8 x 4 cm. Draw that rectangle on card and compare it with a lapel, collar, wrap or suitable bag panel. The full width runs from tail to head, so leave clear space around both ends and check that a nearby fastening, seam or strap will not touch them.

Choose a plain background that highlights the pastel details

The structure is made from silver-coloured steel. Navy or charcoal gives the turquoise, pink, purple, yellow and green areas a clear contrast. Denim echoes the blue spine, while cream offers a softer setting. Try the brooch in several positions at normal viewing distance before choosing the balance you prefer.

Three practical places to compare

• a broad jacket lapel away from a thick seam;
• a knit or wrap after checking the exact intended spot;
• a flat suitable bag panel accessible from both sides.

How the fishbone brooch stays put without a pin

A fixed round magnet sits behind the head. The separate broad round counterplate has openings around its central disc. Hold the fishbone outside the material and bring the plate towards it from behind. The fishbone's magnets were put through several materials, including wool and 5 mm faux leather. Always check the exact location because seams, folds, layers, curves and movement can alter stability. Compare other magnetic brooches.

Fit and remove both parts with control

• select an area that you can reach from the front and back;
• bring the motif and plate together gradually;
• make your usual movements and reassess the hold before wearing.

Features of this multicoloured fishbone brooch

The pink two-lobed tail may resemble a heart to some viewers. This is a possible visual association, rather than a fixed romantic message. Someone else may simply choose the brooch for its sea-related outline, geometric rhythm or pastel colour combination.

Care for the steel outline and coloured surfaces

Handle the brooch by a firm section of its steel structure and avoid sideways pressure on the curved ribs. Remove dust with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water, perfume, cosmetics, household cleaners and abrasive surfaces. Store it dry with its own counterplate, away from cards, watches and devices that may be sensitive to magnets.

Three checks after each wear

• look over the blue spine and all five rib pairs;
• clean the front and back without immersing the brooch;
• store the motif and counterplate together without pressure.
