This metal brooch from Climple is designed with a sharp, geometric aesthetic that mimics a folded paper airplane. It is constructed from a Zinc Alloy (Zamak) base, which allows for the crisp, origami-inspired angles. The unit is gold-toned with a lightweight profile of approximately 4 grams, which helps prevent the pin from sagging or pulling on delicate lapel fabrics. This makes it a versatile accessory for both professional and social settings.
The surface features a gold-colored finish that provides a polished look. To maintain the appearance of the finish, it is helpful to minimize contact with skin oils or perfumes, which can affect the coating over time. The fastener is a standard butterfly clutch, and while it is lightweight, users may find that a locking back provides additional security when the pin is worn on heavy outerwear or thick business suits.
The pin stem is made of 0.8mm gauge steel, providing a higher level of hardness than the base alloy to ensure it can penetrate various fabric weights without bending.
This gender-neutral piece measures for a subtle but distinct presence on a suit jacket or bag. Because the zinc alloy is a stiffer material, the "wings" of the plane are built to hold their shape during normal wear. However, like any fine accessory, avoiding heavy impact will help protect the soldered points where the pin meets the plane body.
If you are looking for a gift to pair with this pin, an origami instruction book makes a thoughtful companion for a fan of the art form.
