A versatile item! Various ways to use and wear brooches


Rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets...
There are many types of jewelry, but when it comes to brooches, they seem to have a somewhat formal image and are difficult to wear... We hear this comment here and there.
Nope! Brooches are actually just as versatile as other items, maybe even more so!
Here are some techniques to help you have fun and feel safe.


Q.01 Where is the correct place to wear a brooch?

Brooches originated as a practical safety pin-shaped tool used to fasten the seams of fabric or clothing in the distant past, when buttons did not exist. Through subsequent evolution, during the era of sword fighting, it was common to wear them on the left side of the chest, to make it easier to move the right hand and to protect the heart. However, now in this peaceful modern age, you can enjoy wearing them anywhere you like, depending on the design of your clothes and your fashion sense.


for example…

🄲 Many items can be used as pendants

🄳 Another big attraction is that it can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of gender.

Q.02 I'm worried that the brooch will damage my favorite outfit. I'm worried that the weight of the brooch will be too much for a thin blouse...

For slightly larger brooches, try clamping the fabric across the width of the pin to avoid concentrating the weight in one place. For delicate fabrics, reinforce the back with a patch and pass the pin through it in a wavy stitch for added security.

Q.03 If you accidentally drop your beloved brooch, you'll be shocked and never recover...

We recommend using a silicone brooch stopper. After threading the brooch pin through the fabric, attach the stopper and then fasten it to the metal fittings. You can also use a silicone earring back as a substitute for the brooch stopper.
