Brooches

These are mainly Celtic or Nordic in design. Made of Pewter, they can be bent to a desired shape once. We can supply pins in a heavier material, or are made of wood, in order to secure the brooch. However, if your intent is to sew the brooch in place, the lighter weight pewter pin can be used. Due to the softness of these lighter pewter pins, we do not recommend bending them frequently, as this will result in breakage..
