In addition to the Scottish pieces on this page, we also have a page of kiltpins. These can be worn on lapels or with scarves, as well as on a 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.

The thistle is a common symbol of the Scots, and appears in a great deal of their jewelry. The thistle became the national emblem of Scotland after the Battle of Largs in 1263 AD. It is said that a Norse attack force decided on a stealthy night attack; however, their leader trod on a thistle and his yell alerted the Scots, thus saving Scotland.

Made in Scotland, Heather Gem pieces each have an unusual "gem" which is made of real heather stems that have been dried, dyed with natural dyes, pressed tightly under enormous pressure, cut and hand lacquered. Every heather gem has different coloring and design; no two are alike. Colors are a mixture of purple, red, green, yellow and blue; the ones shown below are typical. If you request a couple of colors you would prefer, we'll do our best for you; however, we regret that we cannot guarantee what color you will get.

We currently have Heather Gem jewelry at the link below, but none in the thistle design to go on this page. We mention this jewelry here because it is a well-known Scottish-made brand.
