Viking Gedraaide-Wire Penannular Broche voor heren
Before buttons and zippers, a warrior's cloak was held fast by a single forged pin — twisted at the ring, driven through the wool, and turned to lock the fabric in place. The penannular brooch was as practical as it was proud: the bigger the pin, the more it said ca. the man wearing it.
Our Viking Twisted-Wire Penannular Brooch brings that same open-ring fibula into daily wear — a working cloak pin for men who layer cloaks, capes, flannel, or heavy wool coats and want the fastening to look intentional, not accidental. The hand-finished twisted-wire ring and knotwork-etched pin carry real weight and presence without leaning on the hammer-and-wolf imagery already crowding every other Viking accessory.
It's built to be used, not just looked at — slide the pin through the fabric, rotate the ring to lock it in place, and the brooch does the rest.
- Solid stainless steel construction — won't tarnish, rust, or lose its finish with daily wear
- Open-ring (penannular) design with a hinged pin that actually fastens cloaks, scarves, flannel, and jackets
- Twisted-wire ring detailing with hand-etched knotwork, drawn from early Norse fibula design
- A functional, non-figural alternative to hammer and wolf pendants — new to the Noordhaven lineup
