"A decorative fastener of varying size and shape, but often oval, circular, oblong, or diamond, made of precious metal or other materials, usually adorned with motifs, jewels, dangling pendants, or other decorations, and with a hinged pin and clasp at the back to secure it to a garment. It sometimes also has a hook or a ring at the top for hanging from a chain as a pendant. Used primarily by women as an adornment for their garments or hats, or as a fastener for securing a shawl, a scarf, or other accessory to their garments. Also used by men in the 16th and 17th centuries to adorn their velvet or beaver hats."@en |
