| Wearing Mermaid Cameo brooch in Silver and Silver Cameo Earrings in orange pearl |
Goth was my first love. In my teens I dreamed of being a Victorian
gothic princess, complete with a bustle and a parasol. As a teen, the clothes I
had access to meant this never eventuated and I ended up throwing myself into
pinup first and its only been after I’ve embraced pinup that I’ve started having
the confidence to experiment more with the alt/goth/Victorian styling I used to
adore. While it’s not a style I could easily wear in the workplace, there are
elements of the style that I can definitely incorporate into my pinup style
that I already have. Enter the gorgeous pieces by Tika’s Treasures!

| Wearing Corset Bronze Cameo Brooch |
Tika’s Treasure is a new business in Australia. Based out of
Sydney she makes brooches and earrings made from classical styled artworks and
quirky pinups that are set in Cameo bases, which are set with a glass covering
over the image. This means that these brooches are durable, instant, wearable
works of art!
One aspect of Tika’s Treasure that I love, is that she hand
makes each item herself. That means each piece is made with a lot of love and
care, something I love sharing myself as a small business owner. Also, once a
design is used it isn’t used again! This is a great way to ensure your brooch
is unique to you and that others aren’t going to have the same thing. Plus her
range of smaller brooches that are pinups are so gorgeous!
Can’t see a design you like in her store? Tika’s Treasure also does custom orders. She has a range of images available and is more than
happy to help find a design that is just perfect for you! Her brooch backs are
also available in gold, silver and bronze, which is great for ladies who have a
preference. I love both of mine. I do absolutely adore how these bases can help
throw a different feel to a brooch. For example, I LOVE my silver backed
mermaid brooch, but I also love how my bronze based corset brooch looks. These
brooches are such personal statement pieces and are truly so gorgeous.
Something to keep in mind is that they are
on the heavier side, due to the glass fronting. This is good as it means
they aren’t come off easily, it does mean they shouldn’t be worn with later fabrics,
as the pull can leave quite big holes where the pin sits. Aside from that I
adore my brooches and am already planning more outfits around them!
The earrings are surprisingly light weight, allowing for
comfortable wear over the day. They are beautifully crafted and add a classic
touch to any outfit. These earrings are
available in bronze and silver as well as art backgrounds and the pearl tones I’m
wearing. I personally do love the Pearl affect, as it changes with the angle
and really makes the earrings pop against my blonde hair.
Tika’s Treasures are also incredibly well priced! At only $10AUD
for earrings and $15-20AUD for the cameo brooches! Plus postage! She is also an
absolute pleasure to deal with which makes the shopping experience so much better!
I love how these brooches are letting me mesh together two styles I love and I feel that there are quite a few ladies who follow me who would love them too!
