This vintage silver and enamel tulip brooch dates to the mid-20th century and was made in continental Europe. Crafted in 935 silver, it features two tulip buds in soft pink and deep red, set above green enamelled leaves. A line of marcasite runs along the stem, which adds gentle sparkle and contrast. Because of its elegant floral form and rich colour, this brooch works beautifully as a lapel pin, scarf brooch, or collectible vintage jewel.

Design & Craftsmanship

The brooch was created using hand-applied kiln-fired enamel, which gives the colours depth and a soft gloss. Each petal shows subtle variation, which confirms traditional finishing. The leaves curve naturally, so the design feels fluid and organic.

The marcasite stones sit in a raised silver channel along the stem. This setting protects the stones while still allowing them to catch the light. In addition, the brooch uses a traditional trombone clasp, which was common on high quality European jewellery from the 1920s through the 1950s.

Why We Love This Brooch

This piece feels decorative yet practical. The enamel still looks vibrant, and the silver has a pleasing weight. The floral design also feels timeless, so it works just as well today as it did when it was made.

Styling & Versatility

This vintage silver and enamel tulip brooch suits both vintage and modern outfits. It looks elegant on a blazer, a knit, or a silk scarf. You can also pin it to a coat or wear it on a hat for a softer, more romantic look.
