Traditionally, a Viking Tortoise Brooch was worn in pairs and pinned to the front of a dress or apron. They were worn by married women with beaded necklaces connecting the two brooches. This intricately detailed brooch is considered an example of the Viking Borre art style in that it uses strong lines and geometric shapes in its design. While brooches like this were typically worn as a pair, we are selling these individually in case you’d rather just have one to use with a scarf, or to use as a solitary fashion statement on a shirt or jacket. It’s simply perfect for any Scandinavian attire or fashion style, be it historic or contemporary.
