Kilt Pins

Although it is widely considered that kilt pins are intended to be worn on a Scottish kilt or kilted skirt, they can be worn in other ways. They make a fine pin for a shawl or scarf, or they can be worn on a coat lapel as a decorative piece.

It is not always realized that the kilt pin does not go through both layers of a kilt, but only goes through the top layer. The kilt pin acts as a decoration and also as a weight on the top layer of the kilt.

Please check the size of each piece carefully against a ruler before ordering. We give measurements of all jewelry pieces on this site so that you will know their size in advance; this will save disappointment, returning pieces, etc.

Stone color: although purple is very popular with modern Scots, the most traditional Scottish stone is the smoky quartz or topaz. This is because the gemstones that were mined in the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland in the old days, called cairngorms, were smoky quartz (and possibly also topaz -- there is some variation of opinion on this!). These come in various shades of smoky yellow.

KP1A (far left). The solid sterling kilt pin at left in the raised shield-and-sword design is a handsome piece, 4" long overall, with a 2 1/4" pin on the back. Comes in an elegant gift box. $99
KP1B (immediate left). Solid sterling kilt pin, similar to KP1, but a smaller and more delicate version of the traditional sword and shield. This kilt pin is just under 3" long, with a 2" pin on the back. Elegant burgundy box, with burgundy velvet pad for the pin inside. $52

These two solid sterling kilt pins would make a great his'n hers set.

KP2. This slender thistle kiltpin is especially nice for the ladies (although men could wear it, too). Frosted stones, 2 1/2" long. This is a Miracle piece. Available in four color  combinations:
KP2A. (Shown) Purple/green antiqued silver. $19
KP2B. Purple/green/antiqued gold. $19
KP2C. Topaz/green/antiqued silver. $19

Sword-and-shield kilt pin, St. Justin pewter, real gemstones.  Comes in a velveteen pouch. 4 3/4" long. Available in two choices:

KP4A. Malachite stone (green with black stripes). $35
KP4B. Amethyst stone. $35

We do not have this kilt pin in the blue stone shown.

Safety pin-style silver-colored kilt pin with a thistle and faux stone on top. Size: 3 7/8" overall. Comes with extra stone, in case you lose the stone in the pin.
We have two choices:
    KP5A. Topaz (orange-yellow) stone $11
    KP5B. Amethyst stone $11
   

KP5C. Plain safety-pin-style silver-colored  kiltpin, three sizes. This is the same kiltpin as the KP5A & B, but minus the thistle on top. Please specify:
Large: 3 1/2" long $5
Medium: 3" long $4
Small: 2 1/2" long $4 This one is nice for a child's kilt.

KP6. Polished pewter sword kiltpin is just over 4" long. $25

KP8. Killiecrankie kilt pin looks like a sgian dubh (and is made by the same company that makes our SD4 sgian dubh). 3 5/8" long, with pewter sheath, imitation staghorn handle and faux topaz stone. Presented in green tartan box. $42

KP9.  Sword kilt pin is a nice choice for your kilt or skirt.  Faux amethyst stone, antiqued silvertone pin. 3 1/4" long. $19
 

KP10. This kilt pin is made of a real horn tip. Each one is different; most are about 3 1/2 to 3 3/4" long. Some are dark brown, some are a dark reddish color. We think this one is especially nice for informal kilt wear. $18

KP12. Antiqued pewter cross kilt pin is set with real mother-of-pearl stone. At just over two inches long this is a smaller kilt pin than most, and also works well on a lapel as well. $10

 

KP14. Medieval sword kiltpin. Antiqued pewter finish. We still have a couple of these in a polished pewter finish as well. Pewter, 3 1/2" long. $19

Kilt Pins by Black Isle of Scotland

KP26A (far left). Celtic bird kilt pin. Do you see the head at the top? The bird's tail feathers form the bottom of the kiltpin, and the Celtic interlace connects the two. We think this is a beautiful traditional Celtic design. Polished pewter, 4" long. Made in Scotland. Boxed. $42
