A jabot pin, also known as a surete pin is a fastening device consisting of a pin with a decorative ornament to each end. One end detaches allowing the pin to be passed through the fabric and then the end can be clicked or screwed back into place. These pins were originally used to decorate or fasten a jabot, which was a piece of fabric worn around the neck, with frills and ruffles dangling over the chest. However when the jabot was no longer fashionable, the pints were worn as jewellery in their own right, for example on hats.
