times. This accessory was accepted by the society when madam de Sevigne
appeared wearing brooches as jewelry in XVII century. That was the time when
the court spy stories were highly popular and any lady from the high society should
have brooches as jewelry kept in her jewelry casket to use as signs to
communicate with particular information. When a lady appeared wearing a lovely
brooch or a nice flower on her shoulder, it seemed just an accessory to uninitiated
though particular people concerned in these affairs knew that a lady was ready
for the visit of the spy guest or that she received the important message.
Today brooch
is not a popular tool to send message with though people consider a woman
wearing brooches as, first, a more attractive female, and nonetheless a brooch
tells particular message to the surrounding people and it makes sense to read
it. Thus, a lady should be more careful when choosing brooches to decorate her
attire. Softer and tender floral elements definitely tell about the mild and quiet
temper, while the brooch made in modern style with sharp edges depicts the
mature and purposeful personality. When you see a woman wearing a dress
decorated with a vintage brooch, it says that she is a romantic person keen on
fashion trends.

is getting more popular. An ancient female attire is not completed without this
ancient jewelry, definitely. Within the 50s a brooch was like an accessory

Victoria, Queen of England, Premier minister Margaret Thatcher, US State
Secretary Madeleine
Albright and other authorized women. Currently brooches are used to accentuate
on beauty and tenderness, like Sharon Stone who acquired a set of the brooch
and earrings as cameo.
Brooch is
one of accessories which serve as the key decorative element in the ensemble.
Legendary Coco Chanel once mentioned that a woman should decorate herself with
only a brooch, watches or a bracelet and a ring, and this is enough to look
perfect. Today plenty of jewelry is provided and a brooch can be easily
overshone though it is of no good, and brooch then should be avoided wearing.
Brooch is the accessory that can highlight the detail you want to draw
attention to. When a neck zone is decorated with a brooch, it accentuates the
face and complexion, when the accessory is at the shoulder, it accentuates the
low neck area. You delicate and thin wrists are good to emphasize decorating
your sleeve with a brooch while a brooch on the hat shows the beauty of the
hairdo.
A brooch is
a universal accessory that goes perfectly with hats, scarves, evening
dress or
a business suits. It looks appropriate on the handbag or even the
shoes. One
tip to bear in mind is that brooches are well matched with earrings or
rings
but not bracelets or necklaces and they are chosen to complement shoes
and
handbags. Nevertheless, lately the rules setsin regards to wearing
brooches are not observed at all.
