Brooches

A brooch is a decorative jewellery item that women attach to an outer garment to enhance its appearance, or in the instance of a cloak to fasten it. Brooch is spelt broach by our American cousins and is commonly mispelt this way in the UK, as well as broache or broche. Brooches are typically made of metal and are often decorated and enhanced with enamel or stones of some description, crystals commonly. A corsage is a larger style brooch that's typically in a flower design and worn on occassions such as weddings.
