{"product_id":"vintage-scottish-sterling-silver-sword-44998","title":"Vintage Scottish Sterling Hardstone Silver Sword Lapel Pin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA traditional Scottish sterling silver sword brooch\/kilt pin, set with a glowing citrine-coloured paste stone to the thistle finial and inlaid with panels of deep green bloodstone and warm reddish-orange carnelian along the blade. The silver is decorated with engraved detailing throughout, giving the piece a handsome Highland character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than being a heavy hand-crafted example, this appears to be a lighter pressed silver piece, typical of practical mid-century Scottish souvenir and dress jewellery. That lighter construction gives it an easy wearability while still retaining the classic ceremonial look associated with Highland dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is fitted with a traditional pin and clasp fastening with good clearance behind for securing to thicker fabrics, tartan, or a kilt apron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn attractive and affordable vintage Scottish piece, ideal for Highland wear, collecting, or as a meaningful heritage gift.
