Elevate formal occasions with this vintage Hermès gold‑tone medallion brooch. Ideal for weddings, gallery openings or black‑tie dinners, the round Hermès Paris motif lends refined flair to a blazer lapel, tailored coat or silk scarf, while the stick‑pin fastening keeps it neatly in place.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: How can I wear and style this Hermès pin brooch? A: It is versatile for everyday and occasion wear. Pin it to a blazer lapel, the shoulder of a dress, the neckline of a knit, or the pocket of a coat. You can also place it on a beret, cap, or a structured bag strap. For scarves, it is best used to decorate a coat or jumper near the scarf rather than piercing delicate silk.
Q: Will a stick pin damage delicate fabrics like silk or fine knits? A: A pin can leave holes in delicate weaves. Use sturdier areas such as lapels, seams, or lined sections, or add a small piece of felt on the inside as a backing. Avoid piercing fine silk or very open knits; consider magnetic brooch solutions or styling the brooch on your outerwear instead.
Q: How do I secure the brooch so it does not slip out? A: Angle the pin slightly upward through the fabric and, where possible, pass it through the facing/lining for extra hold. For added security, use a locking pin back or protective end cap (widely available) to cover the tip. Note that no accessories are included with this item, so a clutch/end cap is not supplied.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone Hermès fashion jewellery? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions, chlorine, and household cleaners, and remove before bathing or sport. Store separately to prevent scratches. Regular wear helps minimise tarnish; if needed, use only non‑abrasive polishing cloths designed for plated metals.
Q: How can I check authenticity on a Hermès brooch? A: Look for crisp, evenly spaced branding (such as Hermès Paris) and high‑quality finishing. Many pieces also carry country‑of‑origin marks (e.g., Made in France) and cleanly executed hardware. Always examine overall craftsmanship and compare with known authentic examples. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts.
Q: What are the measurements of this piece? A: Approximately 1.5 cm (H) × 6.5 cm (W) × 0.5 cm (D). Please refer to the photos for scale and proportions.
Q: What condition is it in? A: Very good vintage condition, showing light signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. Please review the detailed images to assess the surface and finish before purchase.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The listing includes the brooch only. No accessories are included. Everything supplied is shown and noted on this page.
Q: Is this brooch unisex? A: Yes. Brooches are a gender‑neutral accessory. Style it on a suit lapel, knit, coat, hat, or bag for a refined accent regardless of wardrobe.
