Brooches

A brooch is a decorative item designed to be attached to clothing, usually on the chest. Originally it was a practical item designed to hold cloaks in place, having evolved from a simple pin. From a historical viewpoint, brooch designs changed very quickly with fashion (no different than today) and so are an important chronological indicator.

They can be made from almost any metal but usually silver or gold, and may be decorated with precious or semi-precious stones and/or enamelled. Nowadays they are almost exclusively decorative (since clothes usually have their own fasteners). The types of designs are now almost limitless, although since about the 1960s they have been falling in general popularity.
