Regular price $ 550.00
Unit price per
A wonderful extra-large Victorian Scottish penannular brooch kilt pin, set with beautifully smooth burn agate, carnelian and moss agate stones. Handcrafted in sterling silver, this impressive piece is thoughtfully finished on both the front and back, allowing it to be worn with either side facing outward.
The penannular brooch—meaning “almost closed”—is a traditional C-shaped ring with a long pin, historically used as a practical yet decorative fastener for cloaks and heavy garments. Popular in Iron Age and Early Medieval Celtic, Irish, and Viking cultures, the design secures fabric by passing the pin through and rotating the ring to lock it firmly in place.
Rich in history and striking in scale, this exceptional brooch is a perfect treasure for both gentlemen and ladies who appreciate authentic Scottish heritage and timeless charm.
