Product Insights
The Sapphire Blue Shimmery Maximalist Brooch by Le 31 is a Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed statement piece featuring synthetic stones and crystals for visual sparkle. At $69, its price reflects the maximalist design and heavy stone coverage rather than material cost, and it is best worn on solid suits (navy or charcoal) with lapels broad enough to accommodate its 9 cm span—one-third to one-half the lapel width—while overwhelming skinny lapels. It can also be pinned to a necktie or layered with other Le 31 brooches on denim for a maximalist editorial look. The post-and-hook closure secures on thick fabrics but lacks a locking mechanism, requiring care to avoid snagging, and the synthetic stones are less durable than natural gems, necessitating gentle cleaning with a dry cloth and avoidance of water and perfumes.
Verified claims
- Solid suit canvas
- Best worn on solid-colored suits, especially navy or charcoal, with the 3.5-inch brooch spanning one-third to one-half the lapel width.
- Placement variety
- Can be pinned to a necktie for maximalist suiting, or clustered on a denim jacket; multiple Le 31 brooches can be layered for a curated editorial feel.
- Product identity
- Synthetic stones and crystals provide visual sparkle; the Simons-exclusive Canadian design ensures a distinctive, non-generic piece.
- Care and security
- Fastens with a post and hook closure, not a standard pin back, and is generally secure for normal wear; clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid water, perfume, and harsh chemicals.
- Lapel proportion
- Spans one-third to one-half of broad lapels; overwhelming on skinny lapels.
- Fabric thickness
- The 3.5-inch brooch is often designed for blazers and coats, so it can suit thick fabrics.
- Suit pattern
- Best worn with solid suits, not striped or checked ones.
- Placements
- Pinned to a necktie for maximalist suiting or clustered on denim for regal Americana.
- Placement guidelines
- One-third-to-one-half lapel span and solid suit pairing for optimal visual impact.
- Stone material
- Fake crystals and stones (glass/crystal/acrylic) are imitations, not lab-created gems, with consistent sparkle.
- Price rationale
- At $69, the price reflects the maximalist design and heavy stone coverage, not the material cost.
- Exclusivity
- Exclusive to Simons: designed in Canada, in-house brand.
- Collectibility
- Coordinates with Le 31 brooches to build a maximalist collection.
- Size
- At 9 cm, it is less than half the length of Manyavar's 21.5 cm brooch.
- Styling
- Sized as a statement anchor for layered brooch clusters on denim.
- Design
- Exclusive Simons brand with 'Designed in Canada' for local and global appeal.
- Value
- Premium $69 brooch in Le 31's line with heavy crystal, priced efficiently as a Simons private label.
- Cleaning
- Clean only with a soft, dry cloth; avoid water, perfume, and harsh chemicals.
- Storage
- Store in a jewelry box or soft pouch to prevent scratches.
- Handling
- Post-and-hook closure has no additional locking mechanism; the hook latches onto the post to hold it in place.
- Closure on thick fabric
- Reviewers haven't reported issues with the post-and-hook closure on thicker fabrics, but test on a less visible area first.
- Material authenticity
- The brooch's synthetic stones are manufactured lookalikes — usually glass, crystal, or acrylic — rather than lab-created or natural gemstones, engineered for consistent color and sparkle.

| Sapphire Blue Shimmery Maximalist Brooch: Choose this if you want a bold, maximalist statement piece: a two-part brooch linking an ornate oval with a large faceted deep blue stone to a quatrefoil connector encrusted in dark blue pavé stones, joined by two fine gold-tone chains. It measures 3.5 inches (9 cm) long in one size, with a polished warm gold-tone finish and a secure post and hook pin closure on each component. The stones and crystals are synthetic, which suits shoppers comfortable with faux materials for a dramatic look.[1,2,3] | Shimmery Constellation Brooch: Choose this if you want a bold, sparkly lapel accent: a silver-tone cluster of overlapping five-pointed stars densely set with small faceted clear stones, measuring 2.75 inches (7 cm) wide and secured with a metallic bar and lock-hook closure. It comes in one size and is made of metal and faux crystals, so it suits shoppers comfortable with imitation rather than genuine gemstones.[4,5] | Rhinestone Orb Brooch: Choose this if you want a gold-tone statement brooch with a domed, rhinestone-paved orb topped by a small cross, framed by a twisted rope band and accented with a single faceted dark red stone. It is made of faux stones and metal, offered in one size (Golden Yellow) at about 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) wide, with a metallic bar and lock-hook closure. Note that the hammered-texture metal finish is intentionally irregular, and some small darker pits or blemishes appear in the cup interior.[6,7,8] |
