Penannular brooches, also known as the Celtic brooches, are types of brooch most closely associated with the beginning of the Early Medieval period in the British Isles. A penannular brooch features a long pin attached by its head to an open ring with terminals; the pin can move freely around the ring as far as the terminals will allow.

Details.....The brooch measures 1.43" by 1.19" and the pin is 1.65" long. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on antique and vintage jewels, we consider it part of their charm.
