Product Description

Worn by the Scots Guards, 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 4 and 1/2 inches across, which is much larger than our other plaid brooches. This is a top quality 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.

    Large and heavy, thick metal, very sturdy build. I adore the sheer diameter of this, and the topaz rhinestone in it looks so lovely~
