Detail of the Irish
pseudo-penannular Londesborough Brooch
A brooch (pronounced
/?bro?t?/); also known in ancient times as a fibula; is a decorative
jewelry item designed to be attached to
garments. It is usually made of
metal, often
silver or
gold but sometimes
bronze or some other material. Brooches are frequently decorated with
enamel or with
gemstones and may be solely for
ornament (as in the
stomacher) or sometimes serve a practical function as a
fastening, perhaps for a
cloak.
The earliest known brooches are from the
Bronze Age. As fashions in brooches changed rather quickly, they are important chronological indicators.
