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.

We have three different styles, any one of which would be ideal for the happy couple. You can present them as they are, just letting their natural beauty shine, or you can have them engraved with a favourite toast, a romantic sentiment, or the name of the bride and groom with the date.

Regardless of your choice, we guarantee that a pair of our elegant Champagne Flutes will be treasured for their lifetime, displayed prominently in their home and used often to celebrate the most important moments in both of their lives.

We’ve lots of other great wedding gifts. Have a look at our Quaich Gift Sets:

Thistle Quaich Gift Set

The Quaich is a traditional Scottish drinking vessel that is used to celebrate love and friendship. In 1589, King James VI of Scotland gave Anne of Denmark a quaich or “loving cup” as a wedding gift and that tradition has continued throughout the ages, with the Quaich also becoming a most treasured and valued symbol of lasting friendship.

Each Quaich Gift Set is gift boxed with a bottle of 10-year old Macallan plus a thistle decoration, and can be engraved to commemorate the occasion.

Or take a look at our selection of picture frames:

Meticulously crafted with traditional Celtic designs in pewter or glass, any couple would be proud to display one of their wedding photos herein.

They also deserve a special remembrance of this day and a reward for the assistance they have freely given in order to make these wedding dreams come true:

Leather Bound Hip Flask with Badge 
Sterling Silver Celtic Amethyst Sgian Dubh
Silver Amethyst Thistle Pendant 
Silver Amethyst Thistle Earrings

We carry a full line of gifts for both, such as a hip flask, handily engraved of course, or a traditional sterling silver amethyst Sgian Dubh for him. For her the silver amethyst pendant or earrings would be appropriate and appreciated!

New Products – Life’s Important Occasions

News Category: New Products
Article added by: Pauline on 11 April 2011

Kiltmakers.co.uk have added some exciting new products to their site, just in time for some of life’s most important occasions.

Celtic Swirl TankardsCeltic Swirl QuaichsCeltic Swirl Hip Flasks

Celtic designs have everything to do with Scotland and it’s historic past. Traditionally, Celtic knots and swirls, as well as other Celtic symbols have been used in metal utensils, on woodwork, textiles and in artwork in order to symbolize and memorialize the magical, spiritual and earthly gifts we cherish. What some of you may not know is that not every Celtic design has a specific meaning.

Our newest products feature one such design. The new ‘Celtic Swirl’ design is so very intricate, you can only imagine the time it must have taken to complete!

Just imagine the look on the face of your son as you present this hip flask in celebration of completion of his university exams or turning 21?

And the lovely Quaich

Celtic Swirl Quaichs

…the traditional drinking cup with which every special event in life should be toasted. Give the Quaich as a wedding gift or you could celebrate the birth of a little one by giving this fantastic Quarter Pint Tankard.

To make it even more special, we can engrave any of these gifts for you. We can add the date of the event, your loved one’s name, initials or a personal message. Engraving not only personalises the gift, but will ensure that the one who receives it knows that just a bit of extra thought and time went into the giving.

Whatever the occasion or whomever the recipient, we can guarantee that such a thoughtful gift will be remembered fondly and often.
