Not every woman wants to wear sparkly holiday jewelry. For those that prefer their look more understated and elegant, we present this beautiful sterling silver Christmas tree brooch with 12k Black Hills Gold leaves. It’s such an unexpected look that we think even men could get away with wearing it on the lapel of their winter coat. The openwork tree features both polished and oxidized silver, giving the illusion that it’s covered in snow. The green gold and rose gold leaves on the pot add the perfect accent to this pretty piece.
If you’re looking for a whole lot of sparkle in your Christmas brooch, but you still want a more delicate piece, this 14k gold plated Christmas wreath is extra special. It’s set with marquise and round cut cubic zirconias in red, white and green. Each stone is prong set with an openwork back to allow for the maximum light refraction. That means it’s going to have a lot more glitter than most. The brass brooch is plated in 14k yellow gold, so it makes for an elegant presentation.
You might also love this crystal and simulated pearl flower brooch. It features large marquise cut crystals with the design outlined with dark green crystals, white crystal accents and the faux pearl at the center. The red and green crystal-studded Christmas bow brooch is another option that is larger, so perfect for wearing on a coat or jacket.
It doesn’t take much imagination to envision this beautiful flower brooch as a white Poinsettia, does it? Clustered in the center are three lustrous freshwater pearls, mimic the tiny flowers, and the surrounding bracts (those colored petals are actually leaves) are a blend of gold-tone background with a profusion of pavé set white crystals.
Another brooch with a flower/snowflake design is this one which is also crystal-studded and features a large creamy white freshwater pearl at the center. If you love tradition and pearls, JYX also has a perfect pearl-topped Christmas tree brooch in green and white.
What’s Christmas without cranberries? You’ll never have to do without if you treat yourself to this pretty cranberry wreath pin.

We think you’ll love how different this snowflake brooch looks from many others, thanks primarily to the pavé flower and star centerpiece.

Because it’s made of .925 sterling silver, it’s also a lovely Christmas jewelry gift to give to someone you care about who blesses your life.
There are many iconic images of Christmas, perhaps none evoke sweet memories like the sounds of church bells ringing after Christmas Eve services. This beautiful brooch brings those bells to life.

The red enameled bells are edged with gold and sparkled with more crystals. In fact, this pin even has real crystal clappers inside the bells to add movement and sweet sound.

Angels are as much a part of the Christmas tradition as many of the other holiday icons. That’s what makes this Angel Wing Brooch a perfect pin-on to wear for the holidays and the rest of the year too. The unique design of this brooch makes it as fitting for a denim jacket as it is for a velvet dress or scarf. The silver-tone wings are well defined with sweeping pave set crystals, but it’s the natural freshwater pearl dangle that adds both movement and personality to the pin. Give it to someone as a guardian angel, even if they are more spiritual than religious at the holiday time.
If you’re shopping for a younger lady or perhaps a teen, this sweet angel wing pin is perfect on a sweater or casual jacket. The style isn’t overly fussy or formal, which means she’ll love it and more importantly, wear it.
Purple is the perfect reflection of the night sky and it’s fitting that this crystal-studded snowflake brooch features purple enamel work with a stunning pearl in the center – a sweet homage, perhaps, to the night of Jesus’ birth. Irridescent crystal rounds tip each side of the snowflake and between the purple enamel bands, baguette zircons add fire.
For many women, symbols of the church are the most meaningful at Christmas. That doesn’t preclude them, however, from wanting to enjoy all the sparkle of the holiday season.
