The Twirled Viking Brooch

Description

This Viking brooch is hand forged with a twirled pattern and works as a real cloak pin, not just decoration. Fasten a cloak, a shawl or a heavy wrap with it, or wear it as a statement accessory on a Viking, Celtic or medieval outfit.

How it works

Brooches like this, often called fibulae, were how people in the past held their cloaks closed. Push the long pin through a fold of fabric, bring it back through the ring, and give the ring a turn so the pin rests against it. The weight of the cloak keeps everything in place, and you can adjust it in seconds.

Before you wear it

Each brooch is packed with a thin coat of oil to protect it from rust in transit. Wipe it off well before you push the pin through your clothing, so it does not mark the fabric. Between events, keep it dry and add a little oil now and then if you store it for long periods.

It is a small, affordable piece that finishes a costume nicely and makes a thoughtful gift for any history lover.
