Brooches are buzzier—and more versatile—than ever this season. How you choose to wear one is entirely up to you, but whatever you do, don’t call them old-fashioned.

Cartier

“There are fewer established rules for men and women when it comes to jewelry, which fits very well with the way Cartier has conceived its creations since the beginning: for the sake of their beauty, whoever the wearer may be.”—Pierre Rainero, image, style, and heritage director

Nikos Koulis

“Brooches are often defined as formal, extravagant, or stiff, but my pieces aspire to be contemporary couture: intimate, graceful, ageless, and powerful.”—Nikos Koulis, designer
