Silver Penannular Brooch

Experience the allure of ancient craftsmanship with the Silver Penannular Brooch, a remarkable piece handcrafted in the Outer Hebrides.

This brooch draws inspiration from a time when the Picts, Norse, and Celts relied on ingenious, yet simple, fastening methods.

Its design features a pin secured to the brooch by a delicate bridge at the blunt end, which allows the pin to swivel around the narrow section of the brooch. Once the pin has passed through the fabric twice, it is elegantly locked into place by bringing it through a gap before rotating the brooch by 90 degrees—a primitive yet highly effective method that echoes Scotland’s rich history.

Measuring 71mm by 90mm and weighing approximately 26.6 grams, this brooch makes a striking statement whether adorning a traditional garment or adding a touch of heritage to contemporary attire.

It is hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office, ensuring a mark of quality and authenticity that has been trusted for generations. Supplied in a finely crafted wooden presentation box.

The Silver Penannular Brooch is not only a distinguished accessory but also a treasured keepsake—a perfect gift for anyone who cherishes the timeless connection between history and art.

    This is an excellent brooch! I’ve had mine for years – I purchased it on the Isle of Lewis. I always get compliments on it and I wear it with a plaid cashemere serape. The craftsmanship is superb and even though it is well used, it still looks new with no scratches, etc. on the penanular. It is so wonderful that these brooches actually work like the original celtic ones from ancient times. thank you!!!
