Q: How does this brooch fasten and how big is it? A: It features a safety‑pin style mechanism that opens and closes like a classic pin for easy placement on fabric. Approximate measurements are 5 cm high, 7 cm wide and 0.5 cm deep—ideal for lapels, coats and knitwear.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: How does this brooch fasten and how big is it? A: It features a safety‑pin style mechanism that opens and closes like a classic pin for easy placement on fabric. Approximate measurements are 5 cm high, 7 cm wide and 0.5 cm deep—ideal for lapels, coats and knitwear.
Q: Is it solid silver? A: The finish is silver‑tone, referring to the colour rather than solid sterling silver. Céline costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metals such as brass with a metallic finish unless explicitly marked otherwise.
Q: What do the charms represent? A: The design includes a star ball and Céline’s Arc de Triomphe motif. The Triomphe emblem was inspired by the chain surrounding Paris’s Arc de Triomphe and is a signature house code seen throughout Céline collections.
Q: Will a brooch damage my clothes? A: Use sturdier fabrics like wool, denim or tweed for the most secure hold. For delicate materials (silk, chiffon), place a small piece of felt behind the fabric or use a magnetic brooch converter to avoid piercing. Pin through seams or thicker knit stitches where possible and avoid repeated pinning in the same spot.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone finish? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep away from moisture, perfumes, lotions and hairspray, which can dull or accelerate wear of plating. Store separately in a soft pouch, and avoid abrasive cleaners or silver dips that can strip plated surfaces.
Q: Any tips on how to style it? A: Pin it to a blazer lapel, the shoulder of a dress, or use it to secure a scarf or pashmina. Safety‑pin styles also look modern clustered with other brooches on a coat or positioned off‑centre on knitwear for a contemporary look.
Q: Can I wear it without piercing fabric? A: Yes—pair it with a magnetic brooch converter on delicate garments, or thread it onto a ribbon or chain to wear as a pendant alternative. Both methods protect fine fabrics from pin holes.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything supplied is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a box or dust bag is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: What does Very Good Condition mean here? A: This piece shows light, sympathetic signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. Expect a shiny finish with minor surface scratches on the hardware, as reflected in the photos.
