Product Insights
The Le 31 Small Golden-Star Brooch delivers diamond-level brilliance and fire for 29 CAD, a value enabled by Simons' vertical integration, yet the piece is only available in a silver finish (not gold-tone), uses cubic zirconia on a likely plated base with unconfirmed hypoallergenicity, and its friction-based closure lacks a safety catch, risking detachment on smooth fabrics.
Verified claims
- Brand heritage
- Le 31 name comes from Simons' 1840 store at 31 côte de la Fabrique.
- Materials
- Cubic zirconia stones on a likely plated brass or zinc alloy base, with unconfirmed hypoallergenicity.
- Color
- The brooch is silver-tone, not gold-tone as the name suggests; it is listed in Silver and an 'Assorted' color option.
- Durability
- Resists scratching from daily handling and fabric contact.
- Brilliance
- High refraction creates diamond-like sparkle and fire, especially under directional light.
- Value
- 29 CAD delivers diamond-level brilliance and fire comparable to far pricier pieces.
- Closure security
- The C-clasp closure lacks a safety catch or locking mechanism and relies on friction and fabric tension, making it less secure against accidental snags or movement.
- House brand model
- Le 31's vertical integration as Simons' house brand allows this brooch at 29 CAD without design compromise.
- Cost-saving construction
- Plated metal and non-locking C-clasp keep costs down at the expense of tarnish protection and security.
- Hypoallergenicity
- Hypoallergenic and nickel-free status is not specified or confirmed for this brooch.
- Size
- At 2.5 cm long, this star brooch is a compact lapel accent.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Small Golden-Star Brooch: Choose this if you want a small, delicate accent piece: this one-size starburst brooch measures 2.5 cm long, is made of cubic zirconia and metal, and has a pavé-style center stone and ray surfaces with a secure post and hook pin bar clasp. It works well for casual everyday accessorizing, and reviewed customers have reportedly used it as a hat decoration or mixed into pin clusters thanks to its petite scale. Note that this is the Silver color variant, and the positive styling feedback comes from a secondary reviews analysis rather than verified direct customer testimony.[1,2,3] | Shimmery Constellation Brooch: Choose this if you want a statement lapel accessory with a celestial look: a silver-tone cluster of overlapping five-pointed stars, each outlined in raised metal and densely set with small faceted clear faux crystals that create a sparkly, textured surface. It measures 2.75 inches (7 cm) wide, comes in one size, and fastens with a straight metal pin bar secured by a rotating lock-hook safety clasp. Note that the stones are imitation crystals, not genuine gemstones.[4,5,6] | Lucky Clover Brooch: Choose this if you want a gold-tone lapel accent with a lucky-clover motif: it pairs a black enamel clover with a red rhinestone pavé clover, joined by a twisted rope-style loop set with clear rhinestones, all on a polished warm gold finish. At about 1.5 inches (4 cm) long with a post and hook closure and a safety-catch pin, it suits one-size accessory wear in Red or Golden Yellow variants. Note that the composition includes cubic zirconia and a fake (imitation) stone rather than genuine gems, per the merchant listing.[7,8,9] |
