What is a piece of jewelry called a brooch?
1 Answer
A piece of jewelry called a brooch is a decorative item that you attach to clothing or accessories with a pin or clasp. People often wear brooches on dresses, jackets, blazers, hats, shawls and caps. The word brooch comes from the Middle English word broach, which means a skewer, as pin-type brooches pierce fabric. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of brooches.
