Understanding Brooches & Lapel Pins (ID 197)
The category Brooches & Lapel Pins, identified by the numeric ID 197, falls under the path Apparel & Accessories > Jewelry > Brooches & Lapel Pins. It is a level-three category designed for ornamental jewelry pieces intended to be fastened to garments.
What belongs in this category
This category is intended for decorative pins and fasteners used as fashion accessories. Examples from the US market include items such as enamel animal pins, floral-themed brooches adorned with crystals or pearls, abstract artistic metal pins, embroidered fabric badges, and ornate safety pin style accessories. These items function primarily as aesthetic enhancements for apparel rather than structural fasteners.
What does not belong here
Do not place items that fit into other jewelry classifications within this category. Items such as anklets, body jewelry, bracelets, charms, pendants, earrings, necklaces, rings, watches, watch accessories, and jewelry sets should be mapped to their own specific neighbouring categories within the jewelry taxonomy. If an item functions primarily as a piece of functional hardware rather than a decorative fashion accessory, it should likely be excluded from the apparel jewelry hierarchy entirely.
