Purity Seal Brooch Pin Badge: How to Wear and Display It

Quick answer

Wear the purity seal brooch high on a jacket lapel or bag strap where the Aquila faces outward, and secure it with the supplied backing before you fasten the clasp. For display, pin it to a fabric-covered board or a dedicated shelf stand so the parchment and wax details stay visible and untouched.

Steps to wear and display your purity seal brooch

1. Pick a supported spot on the garment: Lay the jacket, bag, or lanyard flat and choose a position over a seam, placket, or reinforced panel rather than the middle of thin fabric. Hold the brooch there without pinning to check that the Aquila faces outward and the seal hangs straight. If the fabric wrinkles when you press the brooch flat, move it closer to a seam.
2. Test the backing before piercing the fabric: Open the clasp or remove the back and practise fastening it once on a scrap of similar material. Confirm the pin passes through cleanly and the backing grips without forcing. This is also the moment to check whether the supplied backing suits the fabric weight. A backing that needs force to close will likely mark or tear the garment.
3. Fasten from the front and check the hang: Push the pin through from the front, attach the backing behind the fabric, and let the brooch hang naturally. Adjust the angle so the seal sits level and the Aquila is not tilted. Avoid pinning through pockets, zippers, or anywhere the backing could catch on a strap. Re-check the hang after putting the garment on, because movement changes how the brooch sits.
4. Set up a display that protects the finish: Pin the brooch to a fabric-covered board or place it on a small stand in a dry, shaded spot. Leave space around it so the parchment and wax details are not pressed against other pins or objects. If you rotate your display, handle the brooch by the edges rather than the seal face. Keep display boards out of direct sun and away from humid rooms to slow finish wear.
5. Remove and store it after wear: Unfasten the backing before pulling the pin out, then wipe the metal with a dry soft cloth and store the brooch in a small box or pouch. Do not leave it pinned to a garment for long periods, because the pin can leave a permanent hole or rust mark in damp conditions. Store the backing with the brooch so you do not lose it between wears.
