Pin it right.

Most pieces sit between 30–45mm across — roughly the size of a large coin. The statement pieces, the Eagle and the Peacock, go up to 55mm.

Weight runs from 12g for the smaller flora to 28g for the larger fauna. Solid bronze — heavier than plated jewellery, lighter than it looks on the piece.

Every pin-back brooch ships with a brass-tipped roll-clasp. The pin rotates 180° and locks into a hook — it will not pop open in a sari pleat, a bag strap, or a coat pocket. More secure than a C-catch, less fuss than a locking pin.

The shaft is 18mm — long enough to pass through wool, denim, or a doubled silk pleat, short enough to disappear behind a single layer.

Without thinking — blazer lapels, denim, wool scarves, leather bag straps, structured collars, sari pallu, dupatta.

With a little care — silk scarves (pin through a fold, not a single layer), chiffon, organza, fine linen.

Leave it off — very thin georgette without a safety doubling underneath, loose-knit knitwear.

Go through the pleat where the pallu meets the shoulder — two layers, always. Pin from the back so the face of the brooch sits clean against the fabric.
