I recently added the Turquoise West Cowboy Oval Tear Drop Brooch to my collection, and it's been a fun little accessory. The vintage turquoise color gives off that classic Southwestern vibe, which I love. It’s lightweight and doesn’t feel cheap, despite the affordable price.

I pinned it to my denim jacket first, and it instantly elevated my casual look. The size is dainty—smaller than I imagined—but that actually works in its favor for subtle layering. It didn’t overpower my outfit like some bulkier brooches do.

One downside? The tarnishing. After a few wears, I noticed slight discoloration around the edges. Nothing drastic, but worth mentioning if you’re picky about longevity. A quick polish with a jewelry cloth helped, though.

Surprisingly, my favorite use was clipping it to a woven bag strap—it added just enough personality without trying too hard. For the price, it’s a cute way to experiment with retro flair.
