Brooches

When I think of brooches the first thing that comes into my mind is an old lady but honestly this is one very essential accessory that any woman should have. They are an excellent addition to your wardrobe

 They can be elegant to simple.


They can represent a hobby that one has



There are even african brooches

Some brooches are really expensive like the 72.86 carat aquamarine brooch with diamond bow in platinum which i would not mind to get as a birthday present.


So what are this many uses of a brooch. Well there is the usual decorative purpose on your favorite coat. One can use a brooch as a hair accessory, you can use it directly on your hair or pin it onto a headband or ribbon you can tie at the back and there you have a hair accessory that is unique to you.




And what about that dull clutch bag that needs a bit of detail just pin a brooch onto it and there an awesome clutch for an upcoming event.
You know those bad hair days and you have to go for an event or just an outing and you need a nice hat. Well depending on how creative you are you can make a cute hat with the brooch giving some detail to it or you can even end up making a cute fascinator.


Your pendant can also be used a pendant for a necklace or bracelet. The best thing about using it as a pendant is that you get to have a unique bracelet and necklace.



You can use the brooch in tying your scarf, it gives you the freedom to be more creative and it adds a bit of elegance to it.


Another interesting to use brooches is as a shoe clip. If you have two identical brooches or you can dare to be different and use different brooches. You can place the brooch at the front of the shoe or at the side of the shoe.


Now this was the most interesting use of a brooch that I found. Using them to make napkin rings. When you are having people over and you want to impress them, well here is an idea for you.


Whether it is an interesting piece
Or a Givenchy Haute Couture brooch


Make sure you have this accessory in your wardrobe.
