So, you've saved your pennies, and over time have invested in a good, hand stitched heavy weight woolen kilt. You've acquired a nice tweed Argyle jacket and waistcoat. You've commissioned custom Argyle hose. You have secured a nice quality, made-in-Scotland sporran. You have an authentic ebony handled sgian dubh, and finally got that nice Balmoral bonnet you want.

And the crowining glory of your outfit, the sign of allegiance to your cheif.... is a cheap electroplated crest badge that you got for twenty bucks at the last festival.

Looking for something better? Here it is...

We are proud to be working now in cooperation with artist Don Kimble, who has been making quality sterling silver crest badges for 25 years now. Here's just a sample of his work.


These are fantastic. We have a small display with our jewelry now in the gift shop, but will mostly be taking custom orders, on line, over the phone, or in person. As these are custom made, we can do any clan for you.

These really are heirloom peices. I'm especially impressed with his "display box" idea that is an optional purchase, allowing you to display your silver badge proudly when you are not wearing it, as opposed to hiding it away in a drawer somewhere.

Have fun, guys!
