Whimz Girls Brooches – Blog post for May

What a month it has been in the world of Jewellery and in particular for brooches. We have seen the auctioning off of the late great Elizabeth Taylor’s Jewels at the beginning of April. And what spectacular pieces they are! She had a collection of jewellery that could have given the British crown jewels a run for its money! They really were a sight to behold and a wonder of the modern fashion world. Among all the dazzling array of jewellery one piece in particular caught my eye. The reason was that it was, yes you’ve guessed it...a brooch. This piece was given to Elizabeth Taylor by the also late Michael Jackson; a simple Bow design encrusted with diamonds was designed and made by Van Cleef and Arpels.

Theirs was a strong friendship that lasted for many years, the world’s most beautiful Hollywood star with one of the most talented and controversial entertainers. It really was the sort of thing that only really happens in the movies! Yes the two were close buddies and everyone knew it. I can’t help but wonder if this brooch was given to Elizabeth as a sign of their bond? Perhaps when she wore it on certain occasions he would know that she was thinking about him? If this is the case then the humble style of jewellery now had a whole new meaning to it. This to me signified the real importance of the brooch and how valuable it really is because of the deep bond between the two. This piece of Jewellery is now something much more than gold and sparkling diamonds. It most likely was worth more than all the money in the world for the giver and receiver of the brooch. It’s a truly wonderful thing to know that the person who has bought such a timeless piece of jewellery bought it with thought and heartfelt emotion.
Watching the auction it was as crystal clear as any of the gemmed sparklers on display that day at Christies that the Hollywood star loved gifts. The screen siren collected some of the most beautiful earrings and brooches, necklace sets that are in existence. Some of these pieces were hundreds of years old before she bought them. It really proves the lasting nature of jewellery. We WhimZ girls appreciate and love our jewellery too, for are we not also stars in our own right?
WhimZ girl’s brooches prize personal styles above all else like the great lady herself did. We have a huge array of gemmed sparkling brooches available to purchase. Although we can’t guarantee they will fetch millions at auction we do know that when searching for that special gift that a brooch is a terrific idea! Take a look at the various designs that WhimZ Girls Brooches have. That lucky someone will be pleased to receive a glamorous gift from you, or perhaps you would like to keep it for yourself? And there is nothing wrong with that at all!

WhimZ Girls Brooches April Blog

One of the things I adore about Brooches is that wonderful vintage style it can often evoke. Yes they can be very modern and be put on shoes or handbags and look fabulous. But how about going back to source of how these pieces became so popular. Many of the leading ladies in politics and entertainment have donned such iconic pieces on the upper breast of their outfits. The brooch is almost a regal symbol Meryl Streep wore various pieces as part of her portrayal of ex British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the Iron Lady. An intricately made jewelled piece with the right outfit can really give an air of sophistication and elegance.

More closer to home and we have seen First Lady Michelle Obama sport a brooch on many an important occasion. Along with wonderfully chic outfits the chosen brooches ad flair to her already jovial personality! Real inspiration from across the pond!

We at WhimZ Girls Brooches know the importance of this small and sometimes overlooked piece of jewellery, and what effect the right one can have on the overall appearance of an outfit.
I have picked a few fantastic examples from the many different designs that we at WhimZ Girls Brooches offer.

Goldtone Brooch With Clear & Iridescent Rhinestones ( 2.5 In. ) SKU SOLB 1148 $14.00

Is a wonderful example of how you too can also recreate this more regal look, subtle in design but sparkly this eye-catching piece is guaranteed to be noticed on any lapel or chest! Worn on a fitted cardigan will show it off and add grace to your look.
Rhinestone Blue
Vintage Style Goldtone Aqua and Teal Blue Rhinestone Brooch (3 inches) SKU SOLB 3111

$ 28.00

This peacock blue piece dazzles and enchants, the richness of the colours to me evokes images of pieces that her majesty the Queen Elizabeth II has worn to many a state occasion. There is something so ostentatious about the oval shape and way in which it perches itself on one’s clothing and looks right at home.

Want something a little different but still very stylish. Try this on your denim jacket!
Vintage Style Cameo Brooch Accented With Clear & Iridescent Rhinestones ( 2.5 In. )
SKU SOLB 1101 $20.00
With this gorgeous piece of vintage style jewellery you would instantly ooze elegance and grace. How could anyone fail to notice such an unusual but evocative piece? You don’t see brooches like this every day right! It’s as individual in design as the WhimZ girl who wears it! And let’s face it every WhimZ girl is her own person with her own fantastic sense of style to go with it!
