Product Description
This stunning brooch is made of chrome plated pewter and features a repeating thistle pattern around the face with an amber stone in the center. It measures at 3 and 1/4 inches across. This is a top quality and heavy duty brooch, made in Scotland.
The plaid originates from the historic Great Kilt worn by a highlander.
The tartan fabric would serve both as a blanket and bedding to sleep with, and also as clothing to wear during the day. The tartan was wrapped around the waist and folded in a "pleat-like" style which was held in place by a belt. The material that was left over from the waist was then thrown over the left shoulder.
Today, we honor this historic garment by wearing a plaid of matching tartan which is held in place by a decorative brooch.

Nice Brooch

Nice product. Unlike prior review, I wasn't expecting a family heirloom, rather, an attractive, sturdy brooch for full-dress wear. Others band members liked it, as well as audience. Unlike my old silver (but flimsy and now broken) brooch, this one won't tarnish. The casting looks much better than the photo.

Heavy duty but 'meh'.

Solidly made but the casting is horrendous and the 'stone' is plastic. I won't be keeping it. (John's reply: And we are more than happy to take it back and refund your money).
