Collection: Brooches & Lapel Pins
The origin of the brooch can be dated back to the Bronze Age, during which initial versions were seen as basic pins with round loops. The simple decorations were commonly utilized for securing and attaching cloaks and other clothing in the winter season. Trope quickly points out that as artisans improved their abilities and iron became more accessible, brooches evolved to have intricate designs with spiral elements and a disk-like shape.
