Curiosity Penannular brooches date back to the early medieval period and they were used as clothes fasteners, and were worn by both men and women, usually singly at the shoulder by men and on the breast by women, and with the pin pointing up. An Irish law code says that in the event of injury from a pin to another person, the wearer is not at fault if the pin did not project too far and the brooch was worn in these ways by the sexes.
