A brooch is a decorative piece of jewelry that fastens to clothing with a pin or catch. A brooch is usually made of metal such as silver or gold and other materials, usually precious or semi-precious stones. Brooches date back to the Bronze Age and were originally functional as well as ornamental since they were used to secure pieces of clothing. Today, brooches are fashionable accessories that can be embellished with beautiful metals and gemstones.
