CLOAKS CLASPS

                      
 Karen wearing her cloak with Master Ark's Buckle Brooch                                           Buckle Brooch with Pin

This is a Saxon style clasp called a buckle brooch.  The pin fastener is based on the Sutton Hoo shoulder clasps.  This clasp sews onto the cloak and is
fastened by inserting the pin.  It is a very sturdy and secure clasp that will hold the heaviest of cloaks.  It comes set with a variety of popular stones. 
Favorites are amber, amethyst, lapis, and garnet.  This clasp is currently available for $125 Canadian Dollars.

                                                                                               Pennanular Brooch

This is Master Ark's new pennanular design.  It is available in cast bronze with a number of popular stones to chose from.
The pennanular brooch was the way to fasten a cloak for over 1000 years in northern Europe. It spread from its Celtic origins
to be embraced by the Saxons, Romans,Viking and Scandinavian cultures. This pennanular is 70mm across with a 37mm center opening.
The overall length of the pin is 92mm.
To use a pennanular you drop the pin through the slot in the ring, put it through both layers of your cloak fabric, bring it back up through the slot,
and then rotate the ring to fasten it.
