Brooch Vs Broach

Brooch vs Broach: What’s the Difference?

1. Brooch (✅ Correct term for jewelry)

  • Meaning: A decorative jewelry item that is attached to clothing with a pin or clasp.

  • Usage: The word brooch specifically refers to an ornamental pin worn on garments.

  • Example:

    • “She wore a beautiful diamond brooch on her saree.”

    • “Brooch Kart offers a wide range of elegant brooches for all occasions.”

2. Broach (❌ Often confused, but different meaning)

  • Meaning: A verb meaning “to bring up or introduce a topic for discussion.”

    • Example: “He decided to broach the subject of promotion with his manager.”

  • As a noun, it can also refer to a tool used in metalworking (a broaching tool).

    • Example: “The mechanic used a broach to shape the hole precisely.”


In the Jewelry Business (like Brooch Kart)

Always use “brooch” when referring to the decorative accessory — never “broach.”

Think of it this way:
