FAQs

Penannular brooches originated as functional fasteners in early medieval Europe and became heavily associated with Celtic and Norse culture, later revived during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Traditional pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver or base metal alloys, featuring hand-carved interlaced knotwork, cast terminals, and a movable pin mechanism.

Authenticity is verified through makers marks, silver hallmarks indicating assay offices and purity dates, and traditional casting or hand-chased detailing characteristic of specific periods.

These pieces can be worn to secure heavy wool scarves, shawls, lapels, or knitwear, functioning both as a decorative accent and a traditional fastening.

Silver items should be stored in anti-tarnish bags, kept away from moisture and chemical cleaners, and gently cleaned using a soft microfibre cloth without abrasive polishes.
