Simon handcrafted brooch

Local know-how for a handcrafted creation

In our workshop, each craftsman takes pleasure in creating your large Simon brooch, inspired by a vegetable as delicate as it is unique: the mushroom. According to the EPV label, we proudly uphold authentic traditional know-how, with every piece entirely handmade.

Unique material used in that handcrafted creation

The large brooch is made from a lightweight, durable enameled resin that only we use. Years of manufacturing trials led us to our signature material, Emaline.

Durability of the handcrafted Simon brooch

That large brooch combine quality and refinement. Designed to last, they retain their shine and delicacy over time, ready to accompany you in every moment of your daily life.

The mushroom, an element representing nature, has continually stimulated the human imagination. Representing mystery and transformation, it evokes both magic and the unknown.

In many traditions, it is seen as a gateway to other dimensions, a link between the visible and invisible worlds. Its distinctive shape and ability to grow in diverse environments make it a symbol of resilience and adaptability.

It is used as an example in various poems, notably in Sylvia Plath's “Mushrooms.” She uses the metaphor of mushrooms to represent women and their struggle for equality. Gradually, the “we” in the poem is revealed to be these mushrooms, a symbol of a discreet but irresistible force. Like them, women advance silently, making their way through obstacles, until they emerge and transform the established order. They now refuse to remain invisible or reduced to domestic roles, asserting their presence and power in the face of men.

Wearing this handcrafted creation allows us to continue this ongoing struggle.
