Throughout the history of dress, brooches have served many functions. They were initially invented solely for utilitarian purposes-- to hold together cloaks and tunics during ancient times of the Roman Empire.

Today, brooches are still a popular form of jewelry, one that can add flash and fun to any ensemble, and there are many different types available.

Being able to recognize fads and understand fashion as a form of artistic expression is the surest way to develop timeless taste and create a personal, distinctive style.
