xA Brushstroke of Nostalgia: The Soul Behind This Vintage Brooch
Artisan Crafted: Where Oil Painting Meets Wearable Art
-
Hand-Painted Authenticity: Each brooch starts as a blank brass disc, then hand-painted by skilled artisans using light-fast, eco-friendly oils—just like traditional oil painters. The result? Rich, textured petals (think peonies and daisies in blush, sage, and cream) and a mischievous tabby cat with expressive eyes, whiskers, and a curled tail—all rendered with the care of a museum piece. No two are exactly alike; minor variations in brushstrokes make yours one-of-a-kind. -
Vintage-Ready Durability: To protect its artistic charm, the painting is sealed under a clear, scratch-resistant resin layer—preserving colors for years while adding a subtle glossy finish. The base is rhodium-plated brass (tarnish-free!) or optional 18K gold vermeil for a luxe twist. -
Thoughtful Details: A secure lobster clasp with a rubberized grip ensures it stays put, even on chunky knits or wool coats. Measuring just 2.5” tall, it’s bold enough to make a statement but dainty enough to layer without overwhelming.
More Than a Brooch: A Story of Joy & Companionship
-
Cat Lovers: Gift it to the friend who talks to their feline over coffee—this brooch says, “I see your soft spot (and it’s adorable).” -
Art Collectors: For those who hang prints of old masters, this wearable “miniature” adds a personal touch to their style. -
Everyday Magic: Pin it to a cardigan for book club, a sun dress for garden parties, or a trench coat for rainy-day strolls—turning mundane moments into little works of art.
Effortless Styling: From Gallery Walls to Coffee Dates
-
Boho Chic: Layer over a flowy linen dress and straw tote—earthy tones meet whimsical art. -
Classic Elegance: Nestle on a navy blazer or tweed skirt—retro flair with a modern twist. -
Pet Lover’s Pride: Pair with a cat-themed sweater or scarf—double the feline fun. -
Gift Wrap Star: Attach to a present for a housewarming, birthday, or “just because”—the recipient will gasp, “It’s a paintingI can wear!”
