Animals

Cats, horses, foxes, elephants, birds… The Animals collection brings together vintage-style brooches that add character to a blazer, coat, scarf or bag. Each animal carries its own meaning: the cat for independence, the fox for wit, the horse for freedom, the elephant for wisdom and luck. Every piece is hand-selected by Alyvoa for its details — coloured enamel, cut crystals, imitation pearls — and mounted on a secure pin clasp that won't mark the fabric.

To choose well, think of the personality of the person who will wear it: an animal brooch is worn like a wink, on a lapel or a chunky knit. Our guide Animal brooches: the meaning and style of each motif helps you decide. Dreaming of wings and gardens? Discover our butterflies & insects.
