Brooches are one of the oldest pieces of jewellery ever made. The earliest examples date back to the Bronze Age around 3000 BC, where they were purely functional — used to fasten clothing together the way we use buttons or pins today. The word "brooch" comes from the Old French word broche, meaning a long needle or spit. The fun part? For most of human history, a brooch was considered just as essential as a shoe. Losing yours could literally mean your clothes fell off.
