This Saint Laurent Dinosaur Brooch in silver-tone metal adds a playful yet polished accent to any look. In very good condition, it features a textured dinosaur motif, pin closure and engraved logo. Ideal for bringing character to a blazer lapel, coat or knitwear for dinners, gallery visits or elevated day-to-evening styling.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is the Saint Laurent Dinosaur Brooch? A: This brooch measures approximately 6.7 cm wide, 2.5 cm high and 0.8 cm deep. It is a statement shape, but still compact enough to wear on a blazer lapel, coat, scarf or knitwear.
Q: What are the main design details of this brooch? A: This piece features a silver-tone metal construction with a dinosaur motif, textured finish, pin closure and engraved logo. It is made in Italy.
Q: How does the brooch fasten? A: It fastens with a classic pin closure at the back. As with most brooches, it is best secured through a stable area of fabric so it sits neatly and stays in place throughout wear.
Q: What condition is this brooch in? A: This pre-owned piece is listed in Very Good Condition. The hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches consistent with gentle prior use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This brooch comes with a box and dust bag. Please refer to the product information on this page for the included items specific to this piece.
Q: Where is the best place to wear a brooch like this? A: A brooch of this size and style works especially well on structured garments such as blazers, coats, jackets and heavier scarves. It can also be used to add a playful accent to knitwear, provided the fabric is supportive enough for a metal pin.
Q: Can I wear it on delicate fabrics? A: Yes, but extra care is recommended. On silk, satin or fine knits, place the pin through a seam, fold or other reinforced area and fasten it gently to reduce the chance of visible marks. Heavier fabrics are generally the safest choice for everyday wear.
Q: How should I care for and store this brooch? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, water and harsh cleaning products. Store it separately in its box or dust bag when not in use so the pin and metal surface are protected from scratches and unnecessary friction.
Q: How can I tell whether a Saint Laurent brooch is authentic? A: Buyers usually look for clean logo engraving, consistent finishing, solid feel for the size, neat edges and overall construction quality. This piece includes an engraved logo, which is a useful detail to expect on designer jewellery of this kind.
Q: Is this brooch only for formal wear? A: Not at all. While it looks polished on tailoring, a dinosaur brooch like this can also be styled more casually on a denim jacket, wool coat or chunky knit for a more relaxed statement look.
