Brooches & Pins
Brooches and pins have been around since the early 19th century when many of the women wore cameo pin brooch. The difference in the brooches from then to now is that they were attached to a ribbon that was attached to the garment. The brooches of today have the pins directly on the back of the brooch to make it a one-piece pin. Now we have brooches and pins as two individual pieces of jewelry. Many stores sell wholesale pins and brooches for a very inexpensive price. These would make great stocking stuffers or small gifts. In addition, there are many different styles and price ranges of pin or brooch jewelry.
