Brooches

The earliest form of brooches can be traced back as early as the Bronze Age, when they were made of bone. Also known as fibula, the Romans, Greeks and Celts popularized their use for holding clothing together. The various styles indicated ethnicity and class. Nowadays, brooches come in a variety of styles and materials that are unique to different regions around the world. We invite you to explore Novica's gallery of brooches.
