To wear and enjoy a beautiful piece of antique and vintage jewelry with a history behind can be a wonderful, exhilarating experience. This also applies to vintage lapel pins which have been around for centuries and still remain a lovingly addicting hobby. The more lapel pins you find and the more you collect, the more you want to collect!

Vintage lapel pins have become very fashionable, not only to the collector but also to the fashionista. The appeal of the bright enamel flower pins that came onto the costume-jewelry scene in the early 1960s was that they were not your mother’s jewelry. Vintage lapel pins are not the old fashioned conservative collectible anymore.

Back in the day these pins were cheerful, cheap and mass produced. You could wear them in all kinds of ways and in all places and today is no different. Vintage pin collectors visit collectable shows and antique shops to find these little trinkets and they love to display them on an every day basis, hats, bags, dresses and anywhere else they can think of.

There are many different kinds of vintage lapel pins, each one very special and unique. There is the Victorian brooch, Art Deco pins, Rhinestone jewelry pins, Vintage Bakelite pins (very popular during WWII), Cameo pins, Portrait pins, Flower brooches, Glass pins, and many more.

Vintage lapel pins are fun to look for, a great collectible and a one of a kind accessory.
