Penannular Shawl Pin

Penannular pins (or brooches), also called Celtic brooches, are clothes fasteners commonly associated with the beginning of the Early Medieval period (approximately 5th century-10th century) in Ireland and Britain. Penannular means forming an incomplete circle. These brooches can range from simply- designed to ornate works of art with gemstones and multiple metals.

Penannular broochs in sterling silver with a smooth or hammered finish. Not as big as the Large Hammered Penannular Shawl Pin, these pins are still quite substantial. Best for heavier weight shawls and scarves. About 2.75” in diameter.
