Vintage 1970s Silver-Tone Brown Enamel Hedgehog Figural Brooch Animal Lapel Pin

Hedgehog figurals in three-dimensional form are harder to find than the flat stamped versions.

A vintage silver-tone brooch cast as a rounded hedgehog figure, the body constructed from raised spine-shaped metal ribs with dark brown enamel fills between each spine. Four small feet at the base, a small pointed snout at the front. The piece is fully three-dimensional — it sits away from the fabric rather than lying flat.

The enamel is consistently applied, no pooling or chips visible. The overall form is compact and well-defined.

The scale is small — 3 cm across — which means it works on a collar, a fine-knit jumper, or a shirt pocket without overwhelming. The brown and silver palette reads neutrally, so it pairs with most colours. A hat or scarf pin is another option for this size.
