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

Brooches, which originated as safety pin-like tools used to fasten the seams of fabric and clothing in the distant past before buttons existed, evolved over time. In the age of sword fighting, they were commonly worn on the left side of the chest for purposes such as allowing for easier movement of the dominant right hand or protecting the heart. But now, in peaceful modern times, feel free to enjoy wearing them in any position you like to match your clothing design and fashion.

for example…

🄰 To my favorite hat

🄱 For securing a scarf

🄲 There are also many that can be used as pendants.

~Brooch~

~Pendant (Necklace)~

🄳 The fact that it can be enjoyed by people of all genders is also a major attraction.

~Men's Suits~

~Women's necklines~

Q.02 I'm worried that the brooch might damage my favorite clothes. Wouldn't a thin blouse be too heavy for the brooch to hold up...?

For slightly larger brooches, try sandwiching the fabric across the entire width of the pin to prevent the weight from concentrating in one place. For delicate fabrics, it's even safer to reinforce the back with a piece of fabric and thread the pin through using a running stitch.

Q.03 A brooch I'm very attached to. If I were to lose it without realizing it, I would be devastated and never recover...

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