The brooch is back — and it has never looked like this. Our handmade brooch and lapel pin collection brings together three extraordinary pieces from Vattea, a women-led ethical jewelry brand founded by sisters in Medellín, Colombia, where local women artisans hand-stitch and naturally starch cotton thread onto 24K gold-plated brass to create accessories that sit somewhere between jewelry and wearable art. Pin the Caliandra's fringed flower bloom to a blazer lapel. Wear the Julieta's hand-stitched leather and silk bead work at the collar of a coat. Or let the Coral do double duty as both brooch and necklace — a convertible piece as versatile as the woman who wears it. Each one is made entirely by hand, including by mothers and formerly incarcerated women who earn fair, dignified wages through skilled craft. These are not fast fashion accessories. They are fair trade handmade jewelry pieces with the color, confidence, and soul of Colombia — and one of the most distinctive sustainable gifts you'll find anywhere online.
