Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Hermès Pin Brooch? A: This brooch measures approximately 7 cm in width with a depth of about 0.5 cm. Its long safety pin silhouette gives it a clear statement look while still remaining slim and easy to style.
Q: How can I wear a brooch like this? A: This style works especially well on blazer lapels, coats, knitwear and scarves. The safety pin design can also add a vintage accent to a bag strap.
Q: Can I use it to secure a scarf? A: Yes, this type of brooch is particularly well suited to scarves and shawls. On very delicate silk or fine knits, fasten it gently and avoid pulling the fabric too tightly.
Q: Is this made from solid gold? A: The product information describes gold-tone hardware rather than solid gold, so it should be considered a gold-coloured fashion jewellery piece.
Q: Is the brooch signed? A: Yes, the product information notes an engraved logo detail, which is one of the defining features of this piece.
Q: What condition is it in? A: This brooch is listed in Very Good Condition. The gold-tone hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: Will it damage delicate fabrics? A: Like most pin-style brooches, it can leave a small hole or pin mark on very delicate materials such as silk, chiffon or very fine knits. For best results, wear it on sturdier fabrics or place a small fabric backing behind the area you are pinning.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès brooch? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and keep it away from perfume, salt water, household chemicals and prolonged moisture. When not in use, store it separately in a pouch or box so the finish does not rub against other jewellery.
Q: Does it come with a box or any other items? A: According to the product information, this item comes with no accessories.
Q: Is this an authentic vintage Hermès piece? A: Yes, it is sold as a vintage Hermès brooch, and every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by specialists before listing.
