    These items were once very common indeed. They turn up in graves from the iron age to the late medieval period, and were worn both men and women. It is a simple design with a simple mechanism. There were also sometimes used as weapons, which should please the blood-thirsty.

      JulianZeezer There was actually a law in Ireland about not having the pin facing out from you.

      If the needle isn't extremely long, you'd be more at danger when that is pivoting about (presumably you're trying to fasten it blind, and the pin could flop around; fastening it pin-away from the neck would add the distance of the ring to the length of needle currently pointing towards your neck) than when it's fastened correctly. Though that's more for annulars and pseudo-penannulars than regular penannulars.

    perhaps a reason for having two sturdy annular brooches was to (ideally at least) make it more difficult to remove or lose a dress or have an embarrassing reveal in front of all your mates. I can imagine something like that quickly evolving into a symbol of modesty or decency or other fashion symbolisms

    I saw a Penannular today in sweden and talked with my partner about your video on Penannulars. Tried a hat on and some guy came and stood in the way of my mirror and talked about Penannulars I suppose. Had to ask him: Are you Lindy Beige? Hot danm it was you. I was too weired out by my accidental Lindy Beige summoning to stay and talk more with you. I guess it's not entirely random you are at a meadival market, but in combination that I just takes about you and you being all over to this swedish town freaked me out. I did came back for the hat tho.

      Toothygrin Old garage door springs are what I forge mine from. If you do it with a file, shape it so its more like a "D" than an "O", and quench the strait part of the "D", you can make a penannular brooch (I call em cloak pins) that doubles as a flint and steel striker, as well as an awl, so essentially a 3 in 1 tool!
