You may be wearing the oversized bell bottoms that your mother or father wore back in the 1970′s; you may even wear the oversized glasses like Jackie O did back in the 1960′s. Or you may just be up with the times and sport an antique brooch like your grandmother wore in the 1940′s. The antique brooch was first made in the 14th century. The antique brooch was made for similar reasons as the button; and that was to keep clothes fastened together. By the 1800′s the antique brooch was made with rubies, aquamarine, sapphires, amethyst, opals, and many other still famous gems. Actually in the 1870′s the opal gem lost its popularity due to a woman who owned an opal brooch. The woman apparently had a bad incident and people correlated her incident with the opal and thus the opal superstition was created. For a while after that the opal industry took a plunge, but soon enough it resurfaced again. The antique brooch comes in all sorts of colors, styles, shapes, materials, I mean you name it and there is an antique brooch made for everyone and anyone (you just have to look).

One of the more popular era’s throughout history happens to be the Victorian Era. Thus came the Victorian brooch. The Victorian brooch resembles the era with the way the jewels are placed and actually which types of jewels are used. The Victorian brooch has versions that come with tassels that dangle from the pin and some have a woman’s head etched into gems or porcelain like material. It actually resembles the cameo brooch pretty well. If you already own brooches and they tend to look a bit tarnished because of how old they are. Take ½ cup of water, 3 drops of dishwashing soap, and 3 drops of ammonia. Use a tooth brush and wash the stones (but be careful not to rub a stone out).

A fun cool fact about brooch jewelry that more recently gained popularity with the public is the cockroach jewelry. I saw an article in the Washington Post back in 2006 that a business owner out of Salt Lake City, Utah took live cockroaches and bejeweled them. Now it does not hurt the cockroaches due to the fact their head does not extend past their outer shell. The cockroach brooch jewelry comes with a leash, so that your little pin does not crawl away. The brooch jewelry sells online for $80 dollars, but if you purchase them in the store they are only $60 dollars. There are many other interesting and historical facts about brooches, it would just take me an eternity (well maybe that is an exaggeration, but a really long time none the less) to tell you everything there is to know about them. So if you are still curious and thirsty for more knowledge on the brooch subject, I would suggest either looking up in book local antique shops in the phonebook who sell jewelry and or the obvious (the internet).

Some ladies find holding the shawls in the right place too much of a distraction to what could otherwise be an enjoyable night. With a brooch, you can have both hands free; at the same time, making sure that the piece stays wrapped around you in the position you want it to be.

A pin isn’t only used for holding a shawl in place.

It also serves as a highlight, and a very conspicuous one at that. Sure it can be very small compared to the glamorous piece of cloth wrapped around your shoulders, but remember that it is where both ends of a wrap converge. The downward triangle formed by the converging ends of the wrap is sure to lead the eyes of the observer down to the little piece of metal joining them. Hence, while the wrap can be the head turner, the little piece of metal is where their gaze will culminate. This is why choosing the right one should require a little more time than what is needed to choose the wrap itself.

While the shawl can be a very versatile accessory, the pin is not.

That little piece of jewelry can seemingly project a lot about your character; whether the projection is accurate or not. They can come in varying shapes and sizes. Browse through the web under , and you’ll see them shaped into a leaf, a sheep, a fish, a butterfly, flower, or a simple slender cylinder. They come in different colors and make as well: silver, gold, bronze, steel, even wood. Some simple, some sophisticated, some plain, some studded with gems.

Whatever the shape or size, they always come in two pieces:

…a long slender piece and a wider stouter one that serves as a brooch – shawl pin. The slender piece punctures and holds the cloth, while the buckle holds everything in place. It is on the buckle that the designs are usually concentrated on. There are those that are simply wiry but bended and shaped into a certain design. There are also those that have a flat surface on which certain decorations like gems are embedded.

If you don’t want much attention drawn to it,

…avoid large ones or brightly colored ones. Although sometimes, a small, dull colored, but intricate design can still catch the attention of an observant eye. On the other hand, if you do want to make it the highlight of your attire, you can choose eye-catching ones. Because of its usual position in your wardrobe, you don’t have to try hard to find one that is eye-catching. This brings us back to our discussion that you must be careful when choosing the right one because it can easily be very conspicuous.

A shawl and its pin, brooch can easily steal the attention from other parts of your wardrobe. It is therefore important to bear this in mind when grabbing one before leaving the house. It is equally important to remember this when setting out to buy one or the other. If the shawl is the most versatile of all fashion accessories ever, then the shawl and the pin, taken together, is easily the most dominating accessory pair in the history of fashion.

To make the bracelet you will need…
Roughly 85 silver safety pins of the same size, an assortment of small beads and some sheering elastic.

Decorate each safety pin by opening each pin and slipping on some beads. Make sure there are enough beads to fill that side of the safety pin once the pin is closed again. Close the pin and use a pair of plies to squeeze the head of the safety pin to hold the pin firmly closed.

Decorate each pin in this way, adding beads to pins in a random way.

The pins are now threaded together. You will notice that there is a hole in the pinhead and another hole at the other end of the safety pin where the metal is turned, creating a circle. These are the holes used when threading up the pins.

Two lines of elastic are used one at the top and one below with the pins threaded onto them like the rungs of a ladder. To begin, thread the top line through the head of the first pin and the bottom line and through the circle hole. With the second pin, thread the top line through the circle hole and the bottom line and through the head of the pin.

Continue adding pins to the lines in this way alternating which way you add each pin. Make sure when you add the safety pins that all the beads are visible on the same side.

When the last safety pin has been added tie the two ends of the top line together so that all the pins sit closely together. Then tie off the bottom line in a similar way.

To make your bracelet look extra special, put it in an jewellery box or a metallic gift box on a bed of tinsel.

Another purpose of the clasp is to cover the end of the pin and protect the user from the sharp end.

The invention of takes you back in the 14th century, when Walter Hunter had to pay a debt of $15 to his friend.
