Buying an expensive piece of jewellery can be daunting, the decision making process can be hard and the inevitable self argument arises… ‘Where will I get the chance to wear this piece of jewellery?’
Well here at William May we think the question you should be asking yourself is, ‘how can I wear this?’ Why not recycle your jewellery and think of new creative ways to wear your favourite pieces. Re-wearing your jewellery in new and interesting ways will bring in a spark of new style to your look while not having to constantly buy new pieces.
Here at William May, we have picked our favourite 6 ways to style one of our Vintage Cameo Brooches we have to offer. You will see just how easy it is to wear a piece of jewellery in a different way to create a completely new look. So, stop wearing a stunning piece only once… re-wear, re-style and re-enjoy your favourite items of jewellery!
As we all know, the classic way to wear a stunning vintage cameo brooch would be pinning the brooch to the front of your coat, dress, or shirt. So why not dare to be a little bit braver and a little bolder and wear this beautiful piece in a new fresh, fun a way!
Wearing a brooch with a hat
If you are a lover of hats, then this look will be more than perfect for you. Pinning your fabulous vintage cameo brooch to a simple hat will create a complete new approach to your outdoor wear.
If you aren’t a hat type of girl but are keen on the idea of adding a brooch to some headwear, why not add a brooch to a 1920’s style headband scarf. This approach is simply stunning and can be worn to keep warm in winter or to impress in the evening.
Adding a brooch to a wedding bouquet
Another simply stunning way to reuse a vintage cameo brooch is pinning one to a bouquet of wedding flowers. This is perfect for your ‘something old’ or ‘something borrowed’ if you want to pass down your brooch to a daughter, a granddaughter or even a friend.
The brooch will add a vintage edge to the flowers and will bring grace and elegance to the bride to be.
We absolutely love this use for a brooch, as it carries sentiment and can speak a thousand words.
Another fun way to bring your brooch into other aspects of your wardrobe is adding your brooch to one of your purses.
Are you looking to spruce up an old purse, or maybe even just a simplistic bag? Then why not add a brooch and add some colour, character and style to your bag!
Here at William May, we think adding a cameo brooch to a small clutch bag will create a stunning vintage vibe to any evening look!
Now that winter is arriving, you will be pulling out all your scarves and winter wear from the back of the closet. But don’t be disheartened by last season’s winter warmers, just accessorise!
A classic approach to brooch wear would be adding one of your elegant brooches to a scarf you already own. This will bring character to the scarf and is perfect for pinning the scarf close to you for warmth. Try adding one to thick wool scarves, slim scarfs, cotton scarves… see what looks best!
Wearing a brooch for an special event
Adding a vintage cameo brooch to any item of clothing will transform your outfit from simple to elegant and sophisticated. Therefore adding a brooch to an outfit to wear on a special event can only amplify your outfit.
A perfect approach to adding a brooch to something special is a wedding dress. Similar to the bouquet of flowers, this is a beautiful way to pass down a piece of jewellery to be worn again.
