Product Insights
This Flowerpot Brooch from Simons offers a unique potted-flower motif at $39, packing denser stone clustering than larger alternatives like the 5 cm queen bee, but requiring careful handling due to its non-locking post-and-hook clasp and gold-tone plating that typically shows wear within 1–2 years under moisture and friction.
Verified claims
- Value comparison
- At $39, it adds a three-dimensional pot compared to the $19 flat brooch.
- Density comparison
- At 2 cm wide, it packs denser stone clustering than the 5 cm queen bee.
- Motif uniqueness
- The potted-flower motif is unique among Simons' floral and insect brooches.
- Design rarity
- Rare object-based design; more detailed than $19 flower, smaller than $89 bee.
- Clasp security
- Two invisible DIY fixes secure the non-locking post-and-hook clasp.
- Durability
- Plating lasts about 1-2 years; moisture and friction accelerate wear.
- Size and styling
- Less than half the width of Simons' 5 cm Queen Bee, this 2 cm brooch reads as a refined, lightweight accent for lapels, silk, or berets.
- Value for detail
- At $39, it offers more sculptural detail per inch than Simons' $19 flat brooch.
- Gold plating
- Gold-tone plating over base metal, not solid gold.
- Faux stones
- Never soak faux stones; clean with barely damp cloth or dry brush.
- Closure
- Non-locking post-and-hook closure.
- Cleaning
- Use only lukewarm water and mild soap; avoid soaking and abrasives.
- Daily care
- Put on after lotions dry; remove before water; dust after each wear.
- Longevity
- Gold-plated pieces typically show wear at high-friction points within 1–2 years.

Deep Research
How this brooch stacks up against other $39 options
- The flowerpot brooch costs $20 more than Simons' Large flower brooch ($19), a premium that aligns with a shift from a flat floral silhouette to a more sculptural pot shape with clustered faux stones, offering a step up in conversational detail for a modest price increase.
- At 2 cm across, the flowerpot is less than half the width of Simons' 5 cm Queen bee brooch, so it reads as a finer, less overtly costume piece on a lapel — the $14 higher price reflects material density (clustered faux stones) rather than size.
- Within the visible Simons brooch catalog, the flowerpot motif is a rare object-based design, diverging from the repeated floral and insect themes — this makes the $39 price feel like an entry into more playful, singular accessories rather than standard-issue costume jewelry.
Keeping a gold-plated brooch looking new
- Placing the brooch on after perfumes, lotions, and hair products have fully absorbed, and removing it before any water contact or exercise, directly targets the two biggest accelerants of plating wear — friction and moisture — and can help the gold finish retain its lustre well into the one- to two-year window that careful wear typically yields.
- A ten-second wipe with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear, or a dry soft-bristle brush to dust between the faux stone settings, removes skin oils and environmental residue before they can film over the gold metal and accelerate dulling — the same habit that vintage costume jewelry collectors use to keep rhinestone pieces sparkling for decades.
- Faux stones, particularly if foil-backed, are extremely moisture-sensitive — a single soak can introduce water behind the stone that permanently clouds the reflective backing or weakens the glue, so the safest approach is to clean only with a barely damp cloth or a soft dry brush and to dry the piece immediately.
- Polishing compounds and even toothpaste can strip the gold layer on contact, so the only safe cleaning for the brooch's gold-tone metal is a lukewarm-water rinse with a drop of mild dish soap followed by immediate drying with a soft microfiber cloth — anything more aggressive will remove the finish rather than restore it.
Making a simple post and hook closure more secure
- Sliding a small clear rubber earring back onto the exposed pin post after the hook is engaged creates a friction buffer that prevents the hook from backing out during movement — a widely used jewelry-owner trick that is invisible from the front and instantly removable.
- Threading a tiny safety pin through the hook's eyelet and a fold of fabric behind the brooch creates a mechanical backup that catches the hook even if the primary clasp disengages, effectively converting the closure into a double-fail-safe without altering the brooch's design.

Q&A
2 answered- How secure is the post and hook closure – does it have a locking mechanism or just a simple hook?
- The closure is described as a post and hook — a simple, non-locking design commonly used on brooches. It does not have a locking mechanism.
- Is the gold metal plating or solid? Is it tarnish-resistant?
- The listing states 'gold metal' without specifying solid or plated. At this price point, it is most likely gold-tone plating over a base metal. Tarnish resistance is not mentioned; plated jewelry can tarnish over time with wear and exposure.
