Penannular Brooches, Fibulas,
Shawl Pins
and Kilt Pins
January 29, 2012
(Partial
Update)
This
section
offers
a
selection
of
handmade
pennanulars
in
sterling
silver
and
base
metals.
These
items
are
handmade
and
we
usually
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
penannulars
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, heavy-weight 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.
The images on this page generally represent actual size. However, there
are times that computers or even the browser itself will resize the
image to make it fit better to the screen you are using. Please trust
our descriptions. If in doubt, ask us.
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 itto
keep the fabric from sliding off.
NOTE: Slight variation in size, shape,
and design is likely as most of these are handmade.
