Men are Leading the Brooch Revival: We Explore the Surge in Men’s Jewellery

The market is seeing rapid growth as more men use jewellery as a form of self expression... and as part of the wider shift to formal wear this season, we have noticed a growing demand specifically for accessories to style suits. With a surge in antique tie pins, rare lapel pins, Diamond cufflinks and Signed watches, we have noticed it is men who are currently paving the way for the brooch revival.

Noticeable across glamorous red carpet events, we have seen the likes of Actor Paul Mescal wearing a vintage Cartier pin, Michael B Jordan in Tiffany bird brooches, in addition to John Krasinski and Barry Keogan, both seen wearing Diamond brooches. With many of these male celebrities experimenting with jewels, it seems many men are searching for colourful pieces to pin to their lapels when accessorising for special occasions.

Here are some of the suave looks that have recently graced the red carpet.

Paul Mescal wearing a vintage Cartier brooch

If you’re looking to grab Paul Mescal’s look, you can opt for our French Art-Deco Platinum Diamond Brooch. A stunning French Art-Deco brooch crafted in Platinum with an openwork geometric design. Design features a principal 0.50ct old cut Diamond to the centre, with a further 3.15ct of Diamonds in the surrounding design. The brooch’s estimated total diamond weight is 3.65cts.
