Brooches. They've been around since the early beginnings of time. Often considered the “oldest type of jewelry,” you may have thought brooches were an extinct accessory that was only worn by ancient royalty – and you may have been right – until now. This season brooches are making a comeback.
Brooches offer a vintage feel. Sharon Stone wore one years ago at one of the red carpet galas on her hip; and fashionistas all over thought it was ingenious. Other celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Anne Hathaway, and Claudia Schiffer have all been spotted with statement brooches pinned to their outfits.
Brooches can give an extra dose of chracter to an already fabulous outfit. You can find a brooch at department stores, second hand shops, or even inside your mother or grandmother’s treasure chest of jewels.
It can be worn on a plain dress or something as grand as your wedding dress. Once you discover your dream brooch, which could be made 
from silver, gold, bronze, steel, pewter, brass or even wood, find a way to incorporate it into your wardrobe or your wedding dress. Wearing it on the upper left shoulder of your outfit is an easy way to start, but the more adventurous could try pinning it at the low point of a v-neck dress or shirt. The more conservative wearer could button her blouse all the way and then pin the brooch over the top button.
Pin the brooch on the hip of your solid toned dress to add a little glitter, or accentuate the slit in your skirt by pinning the brooch where the fabric first separates. If you have a dress or tee shirt that is too big you can bunch the extra fabric together and pin it in place with a brooch and you’ll soon have a fitted garment with eye-catching detail.
Your hair is also an excellent place to place a brooch. Simply pin it to two bobby pins, a barrette, or a headband and voila! A gorgeously shimmering updo!
And, finally, I was recently at a wedding where the mother-of the brie had a fitted black satin dress with a brooch pinned on one shoulder; the brooch of black and crystal jewels in the shape of a large flower really added to the elegance of the dress.
If you ever tire of wearing brooches on your clothes, you can pin them on clutch purses, bags, hats, and even fasten scarves with them. You can even pin one to your garter! Here are a few that I find to be quite attractive : ) Oh, and don't forget, they make a great gift for the attendants.
