Brooches were being worn as early as the Bronze Age, but it was in the early years of the 20th century that they really came into their own as a fashion accessory.
Unfortunately, they fell out of favour somewhat as the years went by after that, with many people writing them off as stuffy or outdated.
Yet, when carefully chosen and beautifully styled, brooches can be one of the most versatile and fun pieces of costume jewellery out there.
If you want to offer your customers something that little bit different - especially at a time when everyone wants to stand out and express themselves - then we think stocking your shop with great brooches is the perfect way to go about it.
Not only can they bring an otherwise plain item of clothing to life, but they can also be worn in a host of ways, whether that's on the collar of a denim jacket, on the neckline of a winter jumper, on a bag or, more traditionally, on a lapel.
If you're unsure about where to start, try browsing our extensive collection here at Majique by category.
For instance, under insect brooches, you'll find perennially popular butterflies and dragonflies, while cameo brooches will create a Victoriana, steampunk feel that's perfect for autumn and winter.
We also have designer-esque snake brooches a la Cartier and bold fashion brooches with a range of motifs for summer.
As costume jewellery wholesalers, Majique can help you learn what's what in brooches - and we're just a call away if you want some expert advice too.
