Rhinestone Pins Make Lovely Embellishments

By Eliza Mendoza


Accessories are an important part to any wardrobe collection. They can add a touch of finesse to any outfit or make a plain article of clothing more appropriate for a particular situation. From vintage brooches to the timeless beauty of a full metal clip, or the sparkling shimmer of rhinestone pins, there are many different ways these items may be used.

Trinkets of this type have been used since the days of the Bronze Age for both function and status. As zippers had yet to be invented and buttons were unheard of, this accessory's purpose was primarily to keep an individual's clothing adequately fastened shut. Over time they have evolved into more elaborate pieces used to create a fashion statement.

There is no rule that states one style is any better than the other, but one should take care to make sure the piece is appropriate for the garment on which it will be worn. An example of this would be like placing a cuff link sized pin on a flowered blouse or a huge and elaborate clip on a lapel. The idea is to give the outfit a boost without the brooch becoming camouflaged in the pattern or over powering the entire look.

It is also advisable that one take the garment's material into consideration when selecting the accessory to be used. If the outfit is made of a thin, fragile fabric, placing a heavy brooch on it will not only cause it to sag unattractively, but it may also snag or rip the cloth. It is best to select a pin that is an appropriate size, weight and design for the clothing.

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.

There are a great many variations on how one can wear a brooch. There was a time when the traditional placement was on the chest as one would pin a corsage, though that is no longer the standard. In modern fashion, they are being utilized as fasteners for belts, sashes and scarves as well as embellishments for shoes that are otherwise too plain.

As a piece of jewelry, these items can be so much more than just a pin placed on one's clothing. Paired with a string of pearls, it can create a whole new necklace, or several bracelets or bangles can be hooked together with the pin to form a completely different wrist accessory. They can also be added to a headband for a bit of flair or simply used in the same fashion that a barrette would to accentuate a hair style.

Practically any outfit can be fancied up a bit by the addition of shiny rhinestone pins, classic metal clips or brooches of vintage styling. With a little creativity, these items can easily be transformed into other pieces of jewelry such as hair barrettes, rings, bracelets and necklaces. They are an essential part of any versatile wardrobe collection.
