First off, the moment I unboxed this brooch, I was struck by its delicate pastel rainbow design. Unlike bold, artificial-looking rainbows, this one mimics the soft hues of a real one—think morning light catching dewdrops. The AB (aurora borealis) stones scatter light like tiny prisms, making it eye-catching without being gaudy.

I’ve worn it on a denim jacket and a silk scarf, and the straight pin closure held firm without snagging the fabric (a huge win over butterfly clasps, which always wreck my knits). The size is just right—not too dainty to go unnoticed, not so large it feels costume-y.

At a garden wedding last weekend, it got compliments all afternoon. One guest even mistook the rhinestones for real gems! For pageant sashes or everyday wear, this brooch adds a whisper of glamour. Pro tip: It’s surprisingly versatile—try it on a sunhat or as a hairpin for a twist.
