Mother of pearl flower brooch, a wearable bridal still life
This mother of pearl flower brooch sits in the bridal end of our flower brooch family, the kind of small focal piece British shoppers love to pin on a wedding guest dress or a cream cashmere coat. The composition is built around a sculpted rose gold heart with a soft pink pearl cabochon at the centre, designed like a small rose in low relief. Around the heart, five asymmetric petals play on texture: a large mother of pearl petal in pink white marbled enamel sits at the top right, a large faceted clear crystal teardrop catches the light at the top, an openwork rose gold loop with a clear rhinestone reads as a second smaller flower on the upper left, a wider marbled mother of pearl petal lies at the bottom left and a rose gold ring frames a soft pink pearl cabochon at the bottom right. All metal is polished rose gold, all marbling is naturally unique. Mode Tendance picked it for British wardrobes that love a romantic, wedding ready brooch on blush silk or ivory cashmere.

A magnetic wedding flower brooch that respects silk and cashmere
The technical side of this magnetic brooches design is its hidden dual magnet system. A polished rose gold disc sits behind the fabric and clips to a magnet on the back of the heart, so the brooch can rest on a silk bridesmaid dress, a cashmere mother of the bride wrap, a fine cotton wedding guest blouse or a soft leather lapel without any of the pinholes a traditional pin always leaves. It also makes the piece very easy to reposition through the day, from a wedding lapel in the afternoon to a knit collar at the reception.
Styling a romantic flower brooch in a British wardrobe
The mother of pearl, soft pink and rose gold palette pairs especially well with cream, blush, dove grey, navy and ivory, the classic neutrals of a smart British wardrobe. It reads beautifully on a wedding guest silk dress shoulder, on a cream cashmere coat lapel, on a navy fitted blazer, or on the strap of a structured ivory tote for a christening or a garden party. For a layered romantic look, combine it with another more abstract piece from our flower brooches collection on the opposite lapel, mixing soft mother of pearl with a more graphic flower.

FAQ
Is the brooch suitable as a wedding guest piece?
Yes, the mother of pearl, soft pink and rose gold palette is a classic wedding guest match, equally at home on a silk midi dress, a tailored jumpsuit or a cashmere wrap for the mother of the bride.
Are the petals real mother of pearl?
They are a mother of pearl effect enamel set in rose gold cups, treated to look like a natural marbled shell, but lighter and more wearable on a silk dress than a real mother of pearl petal.
Does the rose gold plating tarnish over time?
The rose gold finish is a sealed plating over a sturdy base. Kept away from perfume and stored in a soft pouch the warm tone holds for years.
