If brooches conjure up images of stuffy vintage stores or your grandma's jewellery box, then it's time to reacquaint yourself with the accessory, as the long-loved jewellery item is having quite the comeback. And not just because Margot Robbie chose to wear not one, but two archival Boucheron brooches to the London premiere of Wuthering Heights last night: a yellow gold, cushion-cut red garnet and diamond Walkyrie Brooch from 1900 on the bodice of her custom Dilara Findikoglu gown, and a lion head Assyrian Lion Brooch from the 1920s on her choker.
Brooches were also spied on the Spring/Summer 26 catwalks of Chanel, Wales Bonner, Celine, Tory Burch and Bora Aksu (to name but a few), and sit in star position on Pinterest's 2026 trend predictions. With searches for 'heirloom jewellery' up 45%, 'maximalist accessories' up 105%, and 'brooch aesthetic' up 110% on the social media site, this prediction comes with key stats to back it up, too.
