Originally used to hold up parts of clothing, brooches have made
a startling re-emergance on the most fashion forward. What only
months ago were considered a grandmother’s jewels, are the
hottest accessory of the season.
While this type of jewelry has lost most of its practicality, it
has maintained its ornamental value. Simple sweaters get a splash
of color with these bright jewels. Patrons should take care when
choosing materials since the pin of a brooch can snag delicate
fabrics.
Jewelers around Ann Arbor carry a variety of brooches. A brooch,
said “brooch,” ranges from Scandanavia-inspired pieces
to butterfly and penguin-shaped jewelry, and are available in the
numerous jewelry stores in town.
