The wonder of the kilt pin

News Category: Buying Tips
Article added by: Pauline on 1 June 2011

The Kilt Pin became fashionable in the 1800’s, and has continued to this day, universally worn on all kilts or kilted skirts. Highlanders invariably elaborated the metal parts of their wearing apparel either by the use of precious metals, or by introducing Cairngorm stones, polished pebbles or jewels; and this practice later extended to kilt pins.

A number of today’s Kilt Pins are replicas of swords used by Highlanders.

We offer you one of the largest selections of kilt pins available anywhere, including those for children and ladies.

Choose from rare Ruthenium, classic Sterling Silver or Pewter:

Ruthenium is rarer than platinum and surpasses all other precious metals in tensile strength, while having superior reflectivity and shine. Much more scratch-resistant and harder than gold, this amazing element allows the true beauty of a piece to shine through, amplifying every single minute detail of its intricate craftsmanship. Ruthenium also preserves that fine detail through the years by being virtually impervious to corrosion and wear.

Or do you prefer the classic beauty of Sterling Silver? A long-lived precious metal, our sterling silver collection is meticulously crafted and clearly marked, assurance that you are receiving the highest quality sterling kilt pin imaginable.

And pewter is arguably the warmest of the precious metals. Pewter’s down-to-earth feel and character have long made this element’s flexible properties desired by both craftsmen and their patrons, who enjoy possessing a piece of jewellery that is both artistic and natural.

We invite you to browse though our extensive selection of kilt pins. We will also gladly gift-wrap your selection and ship it anywhere in the world.
