Fichu brooches are a type of ornamental jewelry that were popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in the Georgian and Victorian eras. They were typically worn as fasteners for a fichu, which was a lightweight, square scarf or shawl worn around the neck and shoulders. The brooch would be used to secure the fichu in place, adding both functionality and decorative flair.

These brooches are often made from precious materials such as gold, silver, and coral, with intricate designs that reflect the craftsmanship of the period.
