This beautiful Needle Sterling Silver Penannular is a classic Victorian-Era clasp pin featuring a clean, minimalist design. The piece bears no hallmarks, which is not unusual for family or locally made pieces of the period. The pin measures just over 2 inches across. A truly unique treasure and an excellent example of modernist design.
Popular from the British Isles in the 8th and 9th centuries (though debuting several hundred years prior), the penannular serves as a practical yet beautiful means of clasping a cloak or wrap. This unisex design features a broken ring and a free moving pin designed to pierce and hold loosely woven fabrics. Also known as the Celtic Brooch, the penannular can be found in cultures from the early Romans to the Viking invaders.
