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.
