In a manner of speaking - yes. Do you have a pic of that example?

Is the gap in the ring the only difference between the breach and the Celtic pin? I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the broach without the split work to come out with the pin on the correct side of the ring to do its job, like in Keith's 1st picture in his 1st reply.

The opening is the primary difference. As to use: I end up taking the brooches apart each time I use one. It goes on and stays on, serving only as a decoration...

Okay. So the pin isn't attached to the circle, or broach, by more than just an easily bent piece of metal. That would make it easier.

I used a brass ring of an old horse bridle that I had, & I just added the pin, but you could make the ring & simply solder the joint/split. OR, you could make a one piece brooch from metal sheeting or a large spoon, like those on my breechclout. Keith.
