Brooches

Twenty-three brooches and pins chosen because they actually get worn. Sugarplum's brooch range includes magnetic scarf brooches in leaf, butterfly, tree-of-life and circle designs, crystal and diamante butterfly pins, a ladybird in cerise pink crystal, a robin red breast, guardian angel pins in platinum plating, and an antique-finish turtle. Most come in multiple colourways. All are fashion jewellery, no solid precious metal, but plenty of detail.

Magnetic brooches are worth singling out if you wear scarves or lighter knitwear and want to clip without putting a pin through the fabric. The two-piece magnetic fastening holds the brooch in place without any risk of snagging. The butterfly, double-leaf, multi-circle and tree-of-life styles all use this mechanism, and customers in the Fleet shop tend to pick these up once they have seen how they work in person.

For pinned brooches, the crystal and gemstone styles suit a lapel on a jacket or coat, while smaller enamel or diamante pieces sit well on knitwear or a bag strap. Occasion plays into the choice too: a sparkling butterfly or crystal pin reads more formal than a robin or ladybird, which are more character-led and work brilliantly as a talking point in everyday wear.

The full range is in store at 154 Fleet Road, Fleet, Hampshire, GU51 4BE, and online with free UK delivery on Royal Mail Tracked 48. Returns within 14 days. You earn Sugarplum Rewards points on every order.
