Embellish With Beautiful Rhinestone Pins

By Eliza Mendoza


A key part of any wardrobe is a collection of versatile accessories. These pieces can create a certain look with any outfit or add some finesse to an otherwise plain garment. There are a lot of ways items such as beautiful vintage brooches, classic metal design clips or sparkling rhinestone pins may be utilized to embellish any ensemble.

As far back as the Bronze Age, trinkets such as these have been used on clothing for both function and design purposes. Initially, they were meant as a way for people to keep their pants, shirts, dresses and tunics fastened, though over time they have become so much more useful. There are literally thousands of options in this type of accessory, ranging from plain and simple to intricate and elaborate.

Though there is no one size that is better than another, a key point is to make sure that the chosen piece be in proportion to the location in which it will be worn and the item on which it will be placed. For instance, placing an over sized pin on a lapel will probably look as out of place as a half inch accent clip on a patterned shirt. The idea is to make a positive difference, not o over power or completely disappear.

Another thing to be cautious of is making sure the brooch is not too heavy for the material upon which it will be placed. A heavy piece on a thin fabric may create an unattractive sag and possibly rip the clothing. The trick is to find a clip that compliments the garment in size, weight and appearance.

Selecting what accessory to wear should never be stressful. An individual will do best if they stick to design subjects that appeal to them in colors, sizes and style that make them comfortable. If a piece causes one any discomfort, be it physical or emotional, it is best to avoid trying to use it in their wardrobe.

Brooches can be worn in a variety of ways. The most traditional form is like a corsage, on the chest of a dress, sweater, shirt or blouse though that is one of many options. They are being used as a means to fasten sashes, belts and scarves, and matching pieces could even be clipped to a plain pair of shoes as an eye catching embellishment.

As lovely pieces of jewelry, these pieces are capable of being so much more than simple pins. They may be placed on a chain or used to connect the two ends of a string of pearls in order to create a completely new necklace, or clipped over multiple bracelets to give the wrist a unique accessory. When placed upon a headband or used like a barrette, they also make unique hair embellishments.

Any outfit may be given an element of finesse and flair by the addition of one or more rhinestone pins, decorative clips or vintage brooches. These pieces are such versatile accessories that they may also be used as bracelets, necklaces, rings and hair style enhancers. Having a collection of such items creates a flexible wardrobe.
