Historical Background: Penannular brooches were used from the Iron Age through the Viking and Medieval periods. They were practical fasteners for cloaks, shawls, and tunics. The design is simple, the pin passes through fabric and rotates into the ring, securing the garment in place through tension.
They were not just decorative, they were everyday clothing accessories.
Practical & Reliable: This brooch works well as a medieval brooch for cloaks, capes, shawls, and heavier garments. The ring design distributes weight properly, helping hold wool without slipping.
It also functions as a medieval ring brooch, suitable for LARP, fantasy costumes, or daily wear.
Lightweight and strong, it balances comfort and durability. The smooth surface allows easy piercing through fabric while giving a secure hold.
The Stainless steel Penannular brooch gives authentic style with modern reliability, no rust and no maintenance worries.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
- No oiling required
- Simply wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth
- Store loosely to avoid scratching
- Do not force through extremely thick layered fabric
Note: Each brooch is handmade. Minor differences in finish or shape are natural and make every piece unique.
