WEARING YOUR BROOCH IN STYLE
Before we talk about how brooches can be worn, first lets talk a little about its history, so you’ll appreciate a brooch when next you see one.
Essentially, a brooch is an elaborate form of a pin. Brooches have been a part of Celtic tradition since antiquity. Research suggests that brooches emerged in the middle of the second millennium BC. It is likely that brooches found their way to Ireland because of trade during the Greek era. Sea trading increased during the Greek era, as did colonization, and overland travel
The style of brooches of Celtic tradition derives from the Roman cloak pins of the Early Bronze Age. The earliest function of these brooches was strictly effective. Before the invention of metal, stone tools and weapons were used to hold garments together.
Some of the earliest brooches, characteristic of Late Bronze Age craftsmanship, were found at La Tène. These La Tène brooches follow their Roman predecessors in design.
It is important to note that jewelry for personal adornment exemplifies secular art. The wearing of brooches was exclusionary for the clergy, or those taking part in ceremonies of the church. Both men and women wore brooches. For women, the wearing of brooches, and other forms of jewellery, signified a rite of passage into adulthood.
Today things are different as people of all sexes, age and status wear brooches in different styles depending on the outfit and occasion. Aren’t we lucky?
Brooches are beautiful accessories, but can make an outfit seemed dated if they are worn in the traditional way. Here are a few ways to make use of a brooch without looking like “the Celtics of old”
Your brooch can be used as an hairpin. Make a bun or French twist extra glamorous by pinning a brooch in your hair. This usually looks best in the back of your hair, but use your judgement depending on the style.
You can use it to fit a sweater or shirt. If you have a cardigan or similar garment that is just a bit too big, in the back of it, about where it hits your waist, pull the extra material together and fasten it with a brooch. You'll have a better fitting garment and a fancy new detail in the back. This really spices up an outfit
Another way you can wear your brooch is by Pining a brooch on an evening bag. This looks best on a clutch or other small evening bag. Use a brooch that matches a colour or detail in your dress, it will really help tie the bag into the look.
