Description

Medieval Iron Penannular Brooch – Hand-Forged: This Viking Brooch is hand-forged from solid iron like Norse, Celtic, and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Built for reliability and historical accuracy, it secures heavy wool cloaks, mantles, tunics, or layered medieval garments without damaging the fabric. The open-ring design with a sliding pin gives effortless fastening, making it a practical option for LARP players, customers and collectors.

Its versatile construction makes it suitable for Viking kits, Celtic garb, medieval clothing, or fantasy costuming. The design also shows historical symbolism as penannular brooches signified status and identity throughout early medieval Europe. 

This brooch serves as a functional Viking brooch, a traditional Viking cloak pin, or a general-purpose medieval brooch for period attire.

Brooch Style Variants:

Scroll-End Iron Brooch
With bold curled terminals that display ancient Celtic and Norse art, this brooch has a commanding presence. Ideal for cloaks worn by warriors, tribal leaders, or characters seeking dramatic flair on stage or in the field.

Looped Terminal Iron Brooch
Sturdy and sculptural, the large open loops add visual strength and stability. A popular choice for those Viking cloaks, Saxon garb, or rugged historical layers in harsh outdoor settings.

Leaf-Tip Iron Brooch
Elegant in form, this brooch has smooth, leaf-like ends that glide effortlessly through fabric. Suited for elven, or nature-themed characters where grace and symbolism intertwine.

Flat-End Iron Brooch
Simple and effective, this minimalist design with its curled ends lends itself to utilitarian dress. An excellent option for early Roman, Saxon, or everyday medieval clothing where function is key.

Twisted Scroll Iron Brooch
A bold forge-twisted ring with curled ends, this design speaks of raw strength and craftsmanship. Perfect for rougher roles like barbarians, wildlings, or Viking warriors draped in thick wool.

Flared Rolled-End Iron Brooch
Featuring flared grooves and tightly coiled ends, this brooch brings balance between refinement and strength. Often favored for noble cloaks, ceremonial dress, or characters with quiet power.

Q: Will this viking brooch hold a heavy wool cloak securely?

A: Yes. The brooch is forged from solid iron with a strong pin so that it can grip thick wool, linen, or layered garments without slipping.

Q: How do I fasten the brooch without damaging my cloak?

A: Simply push the pin through the fabric, rotate the ring, and lock the pin. The penannular design spreads tension and prevents tearing.

Q: Are these brooches suitable for Viking or medieval reenactment?

A: Absolutely. Their design is historically accurate for Viking, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and early medieval clothing, perfect for reenactors and LARP.

Q: Is each brooch identical?

A: No, each one is individually hand-forged, so variations in texture, finish, or shape are normal.

Q: Will the iron rust over time?

A: Iron can oxidize naturally, so occasional light oiling is recommended. Keep the brooch dry when not in use to maintain the finish.

Q: What size cloak or garment does this work with?

A: It works best with medium to heavy fabrics like wool cloaks, mantles, linen robes, or layered costumes. Thin fabrics may not hold the pin as well.

Q: Is the pin sharp?

A: The pin has a tapered point so that it can pass through wool or linen easily, but it’s not razor-sharp or dangerous to handle.

Q: Can the brooch be used for everyday modern outfits?

A: Yes. Many customers use it as an accent on shawls, scarves, capes, thanks to its rustic, historical style.
