This
section offers a selection of
handmade pennanulars in sterling silver and base metals. These items
are handmade and we ususally only have one of each in stock at any
given time, so availability is subject to prior sale. We do our
best to keep up, but weekend sales may take a couple of days to
update. If
you're interested in any items that are marked Out of stock, contact us as construction of similar items
is usually possible. If you have any
questions, especially those related to shipping time and availability,
please call us. |
| NOTE: Just as different weights of material are best suited to different conditions, so are some pennanulars better suited to certain weights of material. The total weight of fabric pulling on the pennanular is a critical factor, as is the structure and material of the pennanular itself. A short heavyweight wool should be OK with a pennanular rated medium. A pennanular, which is itself heavy, should not be used on a light-weight fabric, and tightly woven fabrics should have eyelets. The "Recommended Use" column provides our generic recommendations on which weights of fabric each pennanular is best suited to. | |
| How
to use a penannular brooch to hold
a cloak together: 1. Swing the pin to the outside of the penannular ring. 2. Holding the pin, insert it through the fabric layers, so the pin slides through fabric from both sides and out onto the surface again. 3. Swing the penannular back over the pin. 4. Rotate the ring so that the opening is above the pin. 5. Pass the pin up through the opening, then turn the ring beneath it to keep the fabric from sliding off. |
