An annular brooch is a type of brooch that is circular in shape, forming a complete ring. They were worn by both men and women of all social classes. The word 'annular' comes from the Latin word 'annulus', meaning ring. These brooches were popular in medieval Europe, particularly from the 13th to 15th centuries, and were used to fasten clothing such as tunics and cloaks. -
