Some icons never grow old.
They simply grow more meaningful.
 
This delicate brooch captures Bambi in his most tender moment — wide-eyed, alert, and quietly hopeful. Rendered in warm gold-tone metal, the sculpting is gentle and precise: slender legs, soft contours, and that unmistakable innocence that made Bambi a symbol of gentleness, curiosity, and quiet resilience.
 
At just 3 cm x 2 cm, it is intentionally small — a piece meant to be discovered rather than announced. The kind of jewel you notice only when you lean in closer.
This brooch belongs to a woman who carries softness as strength.
She may be a collector, a storyteller, or simply someone who grew up believing in magic — and never fully let it go. In the late 1980s, she might have pinned this to a cardigan worn on Sunday walks, or kept it tucked inside a coat lapel as a private reminder of childhood wonder, gentleness, and beginnings.
There is nostalgia here — but never sentimentality.
Only emotion, distilled.
 
Provenance & rarity
This is a true deadstock piece from a European vintage costume jewellery manufacturer that closed in the late 1980s. A small number of designs were left untouched in storage, never released, never worn.
Decades later, these archival pieces were rediscovered by a London-based jeweller known for supplying rare, period-correct jewellery to major film and television production houses, where authenticity and emotional storytelling matter as much as design.
This Bambi brooch comes from that same rediscovery — preserved exactly as it was made, waiting quietly for the right moment, and the right wearer.
 
Styling notes
Pin it to a fine knit, silk blouse, or cashmere cardigan for a subtle, intimate detail.
Beautiful on scarves, lapels, or even the inside of a coat — worn just for yourself.
Pairs effortlessly with neutral palettes: ivory, beige, camel, soft grey.
A perfect piece for collectors who love symbolism, nostalgia, and quiet luxury.
 
This is not novelty.
This is memory, made precious.
For the woman who remembers who she was —
and honours who she has become.

Single Piece Only
Once chosen, Bambi returns to being what he was always meant to be — someone’s private story.
