Whether you wear a frilly, lacy dress or a figure-flattering
evening gown, a brooch is one accessory that will enhance your appearance. An
undisputed favorite across eras, brooches can hold the hair together, serve as
a clasp for the tunic or shawl, or be there merely as an ornamental piece to
accentuate your worldly charms.
The style and structure of brooches have changed with changing trends in fashion and style. The earliest known brooches evolved from the safety pin and they primarily had a utilitarian purpose.
In ancient times,
women would use these pins and fibula to hold their usually loose garments
together. But each era and civilization had its own distinct style.
Vintage brooches have been found in a range of metals, including bronze, iron,
silver and gold. They also vary greatly in ornamental decoration and craft,
with simpler designs being replaced by elaborate adornments.
By the time of the Victorian era, flower and rhinestone brooches
were very common. The sheer variety in the body and shape of brooches is
mesmerizing. Even antique brooches have been found to be made in specific
shapes with bows, knots, bars, crosses, butterflies, rings, circles, open or pen
annular circles and more. Abstract designs have also been part of this
stylistic evolution, sometimes using heavy jewelry as well.
According to experts, brooches were an important determinant
of the social rank, class, ethnic group and overall standing of the person
wearing it.
Even today, brooches can determine the stylistic preferences
of the person wearing it as well as her ethnic orientation. Indigenous women in
North Africa have their own traditional brooch used to tie their garment.
In the Muslim world, brooches are extremely popular as an
accessory to tie the headscarves and hijabs. They can also serve as an
assertion of one’s ethnic identity with handmade brooches incorporating
cultural motifs and styles.
These beautiful pins do not only can add elegance and
panache to your appearance but also perform a very useful function in holding
loose-fitting garments in their place.
In Pakistan, brooches are wildly popular with girls as well
as women using it for their hair, to hold their shawls and dupattas in place, or just to tie their scarf. The jewelry brooches
and accessories, with their ornamental value, make these brooches a must-have.
