Some brooches whisper. This one speaks. Signed VJ for Vicky Jousan, this stunning statement piece combines the organic warmth of natural wood with the luminous, layered beauty of shell — a pairing that feels both earthy and luxurious, entirely at home in a boho-chic wardrobe or pinned to the lapel of a tailored jacket for unexpected contrast.
Vicky Jousan was known for bold, nature-inspired jewelry that celebrated natural materials at a time when costume jewelry was dominated by rhinestones and metal. Her pieces have a handcrafted sensibility that sets them apart — tactile, distinctive, and deeply wearable.
This is the kind of brooch that becomes a conversation piece the moment you walk into a room.
