This exquisite accessory is more than just a brooch; it is a tribute to the craftsmanship of ancient artisans who perfected the art of metalworking over centuries.

Crafted from SOLID IRON, this fibula showcases a stunning design that captures the essence of various cultures, including the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxon England, and Vikings.

With an inner diameter of approximately 6.2 cm and an effective pin length of about 9.5 cm, this brooch is perfectly sized to secure your cloak or fabric with ease. Weighing in at around 72 grams, it offers a substantial feel that speaks to its quality and durability, ensuring it will remain a treasured piece in your collection for years to come.

One of the unique features of this fibula is its decorative knotwork and twisting of the metal. These intricate designs not only add to its visual appeal but also evoke a sense of mystique and tradition, enchanting anyone who lays eyes on it. The delicate balance between form and functionality illustrates how beauty can seamlessly integrate with practicality.

When you receive your fibula, you’ll notice it is carefully coated with a layer of oil for protection against corrosion (rust). This temporary coating can be easily wiped away, allowing you to appreciate the raw beauty of the iron beneath. The crafting process not only showcases time-honored techniques but also reflects a commitment to sustainability and quality craftsmanship.

Using the fibula is intuitively simple. Begin by piercing the cloth where you wish to secure your cloak, then pass the pin between the ends of the ring. With a gentle rotation of the ring 90 degrees under the pin tip, you’ll find your accessory locks into place brilliantly. Once released, the fabric holds the pin securely, proving that even in ancient times, style did not compromise functionality.
