Medieval Floral Brass Ring Brooch with Multicoloured Stones
Historical Context and Purpose of the Brooch
Ring brooches, frequently referred to as penannular brooches or fibulae, were essential clothing accessories throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, roughly spanning from the 12th to the 16th century. Before buttons became widely adopted in everyday fashion, these clasps were practically used to securely and elegantly fasten cloaks, tunics, dresses, and surcoats. Floral motifs complemented by imitation gemstones (in this case, represented by colourful acrylic crystals) were highly popular among the wealthy middle class and nobility, as they ostensibly demonstrated the refined taste and social status of the wearer.
How to Properly Pin the Brooch
Using this ring brooch is straightforward and follows historical practice. You simply gather the fabric of your garment, such as the leading edges of a woollen cloak, push the movable pin of the brooch through the gathered fabric from underneath, and then rest the pin on the opposite side of the brass ring. The natural tension of the pulled fabric itself keeps the brooch securely and firmly in place, ensuring you do not have to worry about your garment accidentally unfastening during movement.

Product Care and Safety Warnings
Brass naturally tends to develop a patina and darken over time. To maintain its original shine, simply polish it gently on occasion with a dry, soft cloth. Given that the acrylic stones are attached to the brass base by hand using glue, we strongly advise avoiding soaking the brooch in water or applying harsh chemical cleaners. Doing so could compromise the adhesive and cause the stones to fall out. Regarding safety, the pin of the brooch is fully functional and mildly sharp to allow it to pierce historical fabrics. Therefore, exercise caution when fastening your garment to avoid pricking yourself on its point. For safety reasons, keep this piece of jewellery well out of the reach of small children.
Recommended Accessories
To complement this elegant cloak clasp, we highly recommend acquiring a quality woollen cloak or a linen over-tunic inspired by 14th to 15th-century European fashion, upon which this historical piece of jewellery will stand out flawlessly.
