First off, this brooch is *not* your average accessory. The Celtic knot design is intricate without being over-the-top—perfect for adding a subtle Norse vibe to my wool wraps. It’s lightweight but doesn’t feel flimsy, and the size is just right (no awkward poking or snagging).

I wore it to a folk festival last weekend, and it held up like a champ—even during some impromptu dancing. Unlike cheaper pins, the clasp stayed secure all day. Bonus: It got compliments from both history buffs and my punk friend who demanded to know where I got it.

That said, don’t expect battlefield-grade durability. One reviewer mentioned theirs broke after months of cloak duty, so I’ll avoid hanging heavy fabrics with it. But as a statement piece? 10/10. My favorite trick: layering it over a denim jacket for a ‘casual Viking’ look that somehow works at coffee shops.

Pro tip: The antiqued finish hides minor scratches beautifully. After two months of near-daily wear, mine still looks like it came straight from a medieval market—in the best way possible.
