Fibula Brooches have been used as clothing fasteners throughout
history. They were especially popular with the Celts, but were also used
by the Greeks, Romans, Saxons, and Vikings, to name a few. The earliest
examples are found in the Mediterranean and Middle East, and date from
800 BC and earlier. Their use continues today, in the form of the modern
safety pin.
Fibulas were often worn in pairs to secure a dress or cape at the
shoulders, often connected by a chain. A single fibulas can also be used
to secure a wrap or shawl at one shoulder, or decoratively on a jacket or
sweater, or at the bottom of a kilt.
Our fibulas are sturdy, but they are not designed for extra heavy
garments. They feature a handmade spring pin which is quite strong, and
will not open accidentally.
