Beaded Brooches are a lovely accent for any ensemble. Brooches have been used for thousands of years, the earliest one having been found from the Bronze Age. Beads are also an ancient decoration, although they were originally used as the earliest form of trade. Beads have been found in Lebanon, dating back more than 75,000 years ago. These two pieces of history combine to create a beautiful additive to any garment, from the lapel on a peacoat to the belt on a velvet dress.
