Vintage Cherry Brooch, Red Enamel Rose Gold 6cm Magnetic

Vintage cherry brooch in red enamel with rose-gold leaves

This cherry brooch picks up the codes of 1950s pin-up jewellery and updates them with a hidden magnetic fastening. Two cherries in deep red enamel sit under two veined green enamel leaves, and the metalwork is finished in a warm rose-gold tone rather than a flat yellow gold. The result keeps the retro silhouette familiar from rockabilly and pin-up looks while staying modern enough to wear on a tweed blazer or a plain knit jumper. The hidden magnet replaces the pin, so the brooch holds firmly without leaving holes in fine fabric.

• Cherries: two glossy red enamel berries, round and slightly bulbous
• Leaves: two green enamel leaves with hand-detailed gold veins
• Metal: rose-gold tone (warmer than plain yellow gold)
• Fastening: hidden magnet, two-disc system, no pin and no holes
• Best worn on: blazers, knit jumpers, denim jackets, summer dresses, scarves

Pin-up styling without the dressing-up

The cherry motif has lived in jewellery design since the 1940s and stayed a key piece of pin-up and rockabilly wardrobes through the 50s and 60s. This brooch keeps the iconic shape but trades the costume feel for everyday wearability: the rose-gold metal reads softer than yellow gold under daylight, and the size sits well on a lapel without taking the whole outfit over. Pair it with a denim jacket for a casual look, or pin it to a blazer to add a cheerful note to office wear. The full range of no-pin magnetic brooches is built around the same idea: decorative pieces that respect the fabric they sit on.

Where the cherries fit in the wardrobe

On a black wool coat lapel, the red enamel reads as a single sharp colour accent. On a chambray shirt or a denim jacket, it picks up the all-American diner mood without crossing into costume. On a polka-dot summer dress it completes a Lana del Rey aesthetic without effort. For coordinated styling, browse our wider fruit brooch collection and pick a second piece in a different fruit to layer.

Materials, sizing and care

The body is solid rose-gold-tone metal, with the cherries and leaves finished in baked enamel so the colours stay bright and resist scratching better than a printed surface. The brooch comes in two parts: the decorative cherry piece and a small openwork magnetic disc that sits behind the fabric. Wipe the front with a dry microfibre cloth, store flat, and avoid perfume sprays or pool water on the enamel to preserve the shine over time. Ships in a small jewellery pouch ready for gifting.
