Medieval Brass Penannular Fibula

This penannular brooch pin is crafted from pure solid brass with a brass finish look. Inspired by historical designs, it works both as a functional fastener and as a timeless decorative accessory for medieval and Viking clothes.

History of the Penannular Brooch

The penannular brooch has been used for centuries across Celtic, Viking, and medieval cultures. The word penannular means “almost a ring,” referring to its circular shape with a small opening.

In ancient times, this style of medieval brooch was used to secure cloaks, tunics, and outer garments before buttons came. It was practical, durable, and worn as a symbol of status.

It is simple in shape and effective in design, and a very essential cloak pin for warriors, travelers, and nobles .

Solid Brass Material

This brooch is made from pure brass, due to its strength and long-lasting nature. Brass is naturally rust resistant and requires less maintenance compared to iron or steel.

Over time, brass develops a natural patina. This aging effect enhances its old-world look, giving the brooch a deeper tone. The warm golden color gives a regal and beautiful look, making it suitable for both costume wear and daily use.

Use and How to Use

This penannular brooch pin is easy to use:

1. Push the pin through the fabric of your cloak or tunic.

2. Rotate the ring portion over the pin.

3. Turn the ring so the fabric rests against the closed section.

The tension of the ring keeps the garment securely fastened. It works well as a cloak pin, shawl holder, or decorative accessory. Its lightweight build gives all-day wear without discomfort.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use

• Avoid prolonged moisture exposure

• Store in a dry place

• Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaners

• Allow natural patina to develop or gently polish if a brighter finish is desired

Note: Each brooch is handcrafted. Minor variations in finish or tone may occur.
