It’s hard to believe that the ultra fashionable icon today, the brooch was introduced to the world as a simple stylish pin to secure pieces of clothing together.Hailing from the Bronze Age the brooch today seems to be making a comeback among actors, models and other high society types. The most notable celebrity who has long adorned her priceless garments with matching brooches to pin down a sash in the evening or simply placed on the lapel of her jacket is Queen Elizabeth II.
If you are interested in the history of the brooch you’re welcome to visit respected THE JEWELLERY EDITOR. For those of you just curious to know how the brooch would complement your look and whether it’s an affordable fashion accessory worth the investment, keep reading.
We have discovered that several high jewellery collectons such as Chopard, Chanel, Chaumet and Boucheron have begun stocking modern brooches for the discerning woman while also securing the odd antique brooch for the more sophisticated socialite.
It’s unclear what the fascination is with brooches today but from all appearances the upsurge in interest for brooches is no fleeting fad but a cultural shift as they are appearing more and more on catwalks and movie premier red carpet celebrations.
Be guided that brooches are not only worn on the breast lapel but also on the neckline, pinned to the waist of a dress or skirt and even in the hair. Thought to have been born in the Byzantine period the modern brooch has certainly come a long way to cement itself as a must have accessory by the likes of former United States First Lady Michelle Obama, actress Sarah Jessica Parker and others.
