An owl with spread wings and knowing eyes — this brooch has more personality than most people.

Vintage-Inspired with Serious Presence

Two deep cognac crystal eyes stare out from a detailed gold-tone face, giving this owl a wise, almost watchful expression. The body is covered in individually set rhinestones that catch light as you move, while the spread wings create a dramatic silhouette that reads larger than its actual size. Every feather, every talon, every curve of the wing has been sculpted with care.

The vintage-style gold finish gives this piece an heirloom quality — it looks like something you'd find in your grandmother's jewelry box, the kind of brooch with a story behind it. But it's brand new, nickel-free, and ready to start its own story on your lapel.

If the bold, ornate jewelry from the Wuthering Heights press tour caught your eye — the vintage brooches, the dark jewel tones, the heirloom pieces on the red carpet — this owl carries that same gothic romance energy at a price that won't make you flinch.

Small but Mighty

At 1.5 x 2 inches, this brooch is compact enough for everyday wear but detailed enough to start conversations. The spread-wing design creates visual width that makes it feel bigger than the measurements suggest. It's the kind of piece you pin on a Monday morning blazer and forget about until someone leans in and says "I love that."

The secure pin back holds firmly on everything from silk blouses to wool coats. No sagging, no sliding.

Where You'll Wear It

  • On a blazer — the cognac eyes pop against black, navy, and charcoal
  • On a cardigan — vintage-inspired brooch on a cozy knit is a whole mood
  • On a scarf — holds it in place and adds a focal point
  • On a hat — pinned to a felt fedora or beret for instant personality
  • On a tote bag or clutch — bag brooches are having a major moment
  • On a denim jacket — the gold owl against indigo is effortlessly cool

The Perfect Little Gift

Owls symbolize wisdom, intuition, and mystery — making this brooch a thoughtful, meaningful gift that goes beyond "I saw this and thought of you." At $42, it's an easy yes for gifting, and the vintage-inspired styling appeals to women of every age.
