Brooch is back in fashion!
Plenty of celebs wear brooches as an accessory to their evening gowns and casual outfits. For instance, Sharon Stone, Paris Hilton and of course, Michelle Obama, now the first lady of the US! I guess it was she who made brooches extremely popular again.
Brooches or fibulae are perhaps the oldest type of jewelry. When man first took to wearing something more than a loin cloth, he appeared to need a thing to hold the cloth together. The thorn was probably the first of these pins.
Can you imagine what a long history a brooch has that it developed from a thorn into a beautiful little jewelry item we know today?
Thousands of years and still popular!
Of course, as soon as they were being worn for functional purposes, brooches became a part of fashion as well.
It wouldn’t be long even for the first brooch wearer to have these accessories take on a look of their own. For this reason we have an incredible variety to choose from today.
