Medieval Ring Brooch – Hand-Forged Mild Steel Cloak Pin with Leaf Terminals

Description

Bring a touch of authentic medieval craftsmanship to your attire with this Hand-Forged Ring Brooch, inspired by brooches commonly found in Viking and early medieval archaeological contexts. Designed to be both functional and visually striking, this brooch features a round frame with elegantly crafted leaf-shaped terminals—a refined touch that sets it apart from simpler utilitarian pins.

Historically, such brooches served both as garment fasteners and status markers. Whether securing a wool cloak or embellishing a linen tunic, this brooch adds instant period authenticity to any outfit. The smooth, polished steel offers a clean and timeless finish, ideal for pairing with natural-fiber historical garments.

Forged individually by skilled smiths, each brooch is slightly unique. The slender pin glides easily through fabric without snagging, while the ring’s sturdy shape holds garments firmly in place. It’s a historically inspired piece that balances rugged utility with subtle artistry—perfect for enthusiasts of Viking and medieval culture, or as a durable prop for stage and display.
