Treble clef brooch black guilloche, four black cabochons rose gold 7cm magnetic

Black treble clef brooch in radiating guilloche, a luxury music piece

This treble clef brooch is the evening, luxury sibling of our colourful music brooches, finished in a deep black guilloche enamel with a radiating brush stripe texture that fans out from each curve like a sound wave caught on a vinyl record. Six set stones add the precious depth typical of art deco music brooch design: at the upper centre a large oval polished black cabochon and a smaller round black cabochon nest like two intertwined notes, a third small round black cabochon closes the bottom curl in echo, and two faceted smoky topaz rhinestones light up the upper loop and the lower curve like two reflective accents in a polished onyx jewel. Polished warm rose gold outlines run along every cloisonne section and tie the piece together. Mode Tendance picked it for British wardrobes that love a smart music brooch on a black velvet jacket, a charcoal coat lapel or a silk evening dress shoulder.

• Deep black guilloche enamel: radiating brush stripe texture that fans out from each curve like a sound wave
• Four polished black cabochons: large oval at the centre, round companion below, small round closer at the bottom curl, plus a small black accent
• Two smoky topaz rhinestones: faceted accents at the upper loop and the lower curve, like reflective notes on an onyx jewel
• Warm rose gold cloisonne outlines along every section, framing the clef silhouette
• Classic treble clef in a 7cm statement size, evening and concert ready

A magnetic luxury music brooch that respects silk and velvet

The back of this magnetic brooches design hides a polished rose gold disc with a central magnet. The disc lies behind the fabric and clips to the magnet on the back of the clef, holding the brooch flat without piercing a single fibre. This makes it safe for fine silk evening blouses, cashmere knits, dark velvet coat lapels, denim jackets and even canvas tote straps, the fabrics where a traditional pin clasp would leave a permanent hole on a concert dress or a fine cashmere wrap.

Styling a luxury music brooch in a British wardrobe

The deep black, smoky topaz and rose gold palette is one of the most elegant pairings in a smart British wardrobe, sitting beautifully on charcoal, ivory, dove grey, navy and dark velvets. Place it on a black silk evening dress shoulder for a concert at the Wigmore Hall, on a tuxedo lapel for an opera night, on a dark velvet coat lapel for a winter recital, or on the strap of a structured leather clutch for a smart dinner. It is also a thoughtful luxury gift for music teachers and choir leaders at a milestone retirement or anniversary, or for any musician who prefers a quiet onyx finish to a bright enamel one.
