A Flashback Trend: Wearing Enamel Pins This Fall
Enamel pins are the newest, yet oldest, trend this fall 2016. This fun trend can turn any boring old jacket into a fun and chic piece. What you didn’t know is that enamel pins are actually the oldest type of jewelry ever! They say pins, also called brooches, are known from the Bronze Age. Brooches were simply used to hold clothes together. After a while they started to have more meaning. People started to use pins in their hair for portraits to express mourning.
Later on in the mid 1900’s famous brands like Chanel started to design them as accessories. They started appearing on Vogue covers and models and celebrities were wearing them. Hence, people like Elizabeth Taylor started to use them to add just that little bit of sparkle her clothes needed.
