Pins and Brooches Jewelry Information

Brooch:  The word brooch comes from the French “broche” which means skewer. Brooch is an alternative name for a pin.  The brooch or pin is an ornamental clasp having an attached pin for affixing it to a garment, hat, hood, turban or sleeve, as a fastener or as a decorative piece.  The body of the brooch may be in many forms, a disc, ring, heart, flower, bow-knot, or any fantasy shape.  The brooch evolved originally from the fibula of safety-pin form, and that term is sometimes loosely applied to any form of ancient brooch.  A modern brooch usually has at the back a pin and a catch.  Brooches have been made of many sizes and have been decorated with enameling, engraving and gemstones.  Sometimes brooches are embellished with a suspended pearl, tassel or small pendant.  Brooches were originally worn by both men and women.  They were an important part of the wardrobe during the medieval period. Brooches were practical as well as decorative in holding together cloaks and tunics and other various bits of fabric.  The types of brooches made throughout history depended on the fashions.

We have many fabulous brooches on our website.  They are extremely popular once again.  Brooches can be worn on coats, suit jackets, dresses, sweaters, hats, scarves and top designers are showing them in clusters.  Beautiful antique brooches increase in value and can become heirlooms for future generations.
