    BROOC

    H
    A brooch is a fashion decorative
    accessory that usually attaches to clothes
    with a rotating pin clasp.
    A pin is usually a smaller brooch
    that attaches with a small sharpened rod
    and push-on safety clasp, but some use the
    rotating rod with a clasp, similar to that of
    brooches.
    Pins and brooches are traditionally worn on
    clothes such as jackets, shirts, dresses, sweaters and
    hats. In the older days brooches were used to hold
    clothing together.

    Brooches come in different designs and are


    made from different materials, including Swarovski
    crystals, feathers, plastic stones, sea shells, pearls
    and pearl imitation .
    Bronze, copper, pewter, steel and silver
    are used to make brooches' base or be the only
    ingredient in the brooch design .
    A fashion brooch with a good design
    oftentimes looks better than an expensive gold
    and diamonds brooch.
    TYPES OF
    BROOCH
    1. CAMEO Often called a portrait brooch, is
    characterized by a small three-dimensional
    BROOCH face planted on a rounded metal base, which
    has a pin attached to the back.
    The faces are carved out of shell, glass or
    stone and traditionally feature the faces of
    Greek or Roman goddesses and famous
    heads of state.

    Cameo jewelry, including pendants, rings and earrings, dates back to the
    fifteenth century, but it wasn't until the Victorian Era (1837-1901) that
    cameo brooches became a fashionable must-have accessory.
    2. GEMSTONE-ENCRUSTED
    BROOCHES
     A way to add a dash of glitz to an
    ensemble.
     A staple of 1920's flapper dressing, the
    jeweled brooch became a functional (and
    fun) way to hold up stockings while out
    dancing at the local jazz club.

    And with the advent of costume jewelry, pieces crafted of non-precious


    metals and fake stones, during that time, sparkling brooches became more
    affordable. Even today, costume brooches can be found almost anywhere
    jewelry is sold.
    3. STICK PIN BROOCHES
    It look just like they sound: a long, thin
    piece of metal with a sharp point at the
    bottom end and a fancy bauble at the top.
    They are descended from the spina, a pin
    made out of a single thorn, worn by
    ancient Romans to fasten their clothing
    closed.

    During the modern era, stick brooches became available in different sizes,
    their lengths dependent upon their function. Hat pins are longer and used to
    secure a hat into a woman's hair, while lapel pins are shorter and worn to
    dress up a men's suit.
    4. ANNULAR BROOCHES
    One of the oldest types of brooches.
     Also called the ring brooch, this style
    dates all the way back to the fifth century
    in Europe.
    Annulars have a very simple open design
    of a ring with a pin that stretches down the
    back. Similar is the penannular brooch,
    which also has a ring shape, but the circle
    is broken at some point.

    Both variations can be plain or encrusted with gems or even embossed with
    intricate designs.
