Brooches and pins, with the fixing written on the spec line
A brooch is the smallest item on this site and the one most often returned for the wrong reason: the buyer assumed a magnet, or a bar pin, and got the other. So every design here states its fixing, and states its steel grade, before you order.

How to buy this category
There are two fixings in this range and they are not interchangeable. A bar pin with a rotating safety catch sits flat on a lapel or a scarf and can be pinned through a knit without a backing. A pin post with a butterfly clutch needs a small amount of fabric to grip and is the cheaper construction. We say which one each design uses on its own page, because a buyer who ordered the wrong one finds out at the customer, not at the sample.
The second thing worth knowing is grade. Part of this line is made in 304 stainless steel and part in 316L. Both are stainless and both take the same gold tone, but they are not the same material, and the difference matters if a piece will sit against skin in a coastal or chlorinated environment. Each design page names the grade it is made in; if you need 316L on a design that is currently 304, ask and we will quote it rather than substitute.
- ✓Stock minimum 50 pcs per design — sell it as an add-on rather than a range of its own
- ✓The fixing is written on every spec line: bar pin with safety catch, or pin post with clutch
- ✓Grade is stated per design; 304 and 316L are quoted as the design allows, never substituted
- ✓Motifs are animal, floral and geometric. We do not carry flags, emblems or unit insignia

Brooches FAQ
Questions about brooches in stainless steel
Which fixing should I order for knitwear?
A bar pin with a rotating safety catch. It spreads the load across a bar rather than a single point, so it does not pull a hole in a loose knit, and it can be pinned through a scarf without a backing. A pin post with a butterfly clutch needs a firmer fabric to grip.
Is the gold tone on these brooches the same finish as your other steel lines?
Yes — gold tone over stainless steel. What differs between designs is the steel grade, which is stated on each design page. Tell us if the piece will be worn against skin in a coastal or chlorinated setting and we will quote the grade that suits it.
Can I mix brooches with the rest of my order?
Yes. Brooches count toward the same minimum per design as everything else on this site, and they ship in the same carton as your other lines — there is no separate packing charge while they are part of a mixed order.
Do these designs come in silver or brass?
The range shown is stainless steel with a gold tone, and some designs are also available in a plain steel tone. If you need matching pieces in sterling silver or brass, send the design reference and we will quote it as a separate line rather than assuming the steel tooling carries over.
Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?
We are a China-based B2B fashion jewellery supplier with our own design, sourcing and quality-control team, and we do not own a factory. The benches your order runs on belong to partner production lines in Guangdong that we work with directly and visit during your production. We publish no factory address, floor area, headcount or founding year, because those numbers describe a plant rather than the service you are buying. Ask any supplier this question, and check whether the answer matches the paperwork you get.
