How can you tell if a brooch is valuable?
To tell if a brooch is valuable, you can take one of two approaches. The first option is to research what comparable pieces have recently sold for on trusted online platforms. Factors to consider when choosing comparable items include the maker, style, age, type and condition of your brooch. Another option is to have a certified appraiser, knowledgeable jeweler or experienced antique dealer provide you with an estimated value. Find a wide variety of brooches on 1stDibs.
