The chain bar brooch is an iconic brooch style and was worn by the Suffragettes. According to blogger Cogpunksteamscribe: "Chain brooches didn’t just symbolise imprisonment. It also stood for the chains that held the women back in society. The chains that held them back from education and legal rights, as well as the right to vote."
And then it was taken by designers to signify modern fashion sensibility.
Add some hearts and stars dangling from bars and you have the whole gamut of style, attitude and fashion in a brooch. Something for everyone to shine.
These brooches are really cool.
