Rivets in the Middle Ages: The Finishing Touch for Your Chainmail and Clothing
Medieval rivets are the perfect addition to rings for chainmail. They were used to securely connect individual metal rings of chainmail and to fasten and make plate armor flexible. Additionally, rivets are excellent as decorative elements or embellishments for medieval clothing. Particularly notable are medieval decorative rivets, which not only reinforced clothing and armor but also enhanced their visual appeal.

Clasps for Various Medieval Garments
In the Middle Ages, the cloak clasp was an important component for securely fastening cloaks and capes. These clasps were attached at the front and also served as decorative accessories. But clasps were also useful for other medieval garments, such as shoes and boots, bags and pouches, as well as medieval dresses and tunics. Our brass clasps are versatile and can even be worn as medieval brooches.
