Ring brooches were worn universally by men, women and children throughout Europe in the Middle Ages to hold their clothing together. They differ from modern brooches in the way they fasten. The wearer pulls the cloth of the garment through the central hole, and then spears it with the pin. The greater the strain on the pin, the more secure the fastening. Ring brooches continued in use with traditional costume in many places in northern Europe up to the end of the 19th century or later, but Castellorizo is the only place south of the Alps where they survived. The people of Castellorizo grew rich in the 19th century from trading over vast distances, and the womenâs costume and jewellery reflected this. These voukles , meaning buckles, were made of gold, silver, silver-gilt, or plated metal, sometimes enamelled, as here, but always in the same filigree design, and were worn in sets of three or more down the front of the pekamiso (chemise). A small cross often hung from the lowest brooch.
