Embellish With Beautiful Rhinestone Pins

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.

As far back as the Bronze Age, trinkets such as these have been used on clothing for both function and design purposes. Initially, they were meant as a way for people to keep their pants, shirts, dresses and tunics fastened, though over time they have become so much more useful. There are literally thousands of options in this type of accessory, ranging from plain and simple to intricate and elaborate.

Though there is no one size that is better than another, a key point is to make sure that the chosen piece be in proportion to the location in which it will be worn and the item on which it will be placed. For instance, placing an over sized pin on a lapel will probably look as out of place as a half inch accent clip on a patterned shirt. The idea is to make a positive difference, not o over power or completely disappear.

Another thing to be cautious of is making sure the brooch is not too heavy for the material upon which it will be placed. A heavy piece on a thin fabric may create an unattractive sag and possibly rip the clothing. The trick is to find a clip that compliments the garment in size, weight and appearance.

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 lot of different ways that a brooch may be worn. Traditionally they have been used as an accent piece on the upper left or right hand side of a blouse, shirt, sweater or dress but they can be placed in so many other positions. They are a great way to fasten a scarf or sash, or even to just add a touch of sparkle to a pair of plain shoes.

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.
