Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in sterling silver with remarkable attention to detail. The Clan Crest itself measures 11/16" (19.5 mm) in diameter. Historically, the chief of the Clan would present this crest to his clansmen as a mark of loyalty and clan affiliation.

THE ORIGIN OF THE "SGIAN DUBH"

The term Sgian Dubh, which translates to "Black Knife" in Gaelic, is believed to derive from the knife's dark aesthetic; early handles were often hand-carved from black bog wood, and the blades would darken over time due to usage and aging. Another theory suggests that it was named for its easily concealed nature, which is why it is tradition to display the Sgian Dubh prominently on the top of the stocking when donning Highland attire, signaling to others that the wearer is among friends and bears no ill intent. Importantly, the Sgian Dubh is not, nor should it be perceived as, a weapon.

With over 43 years of experience in the Scottish Clan crest business, our company proudly continues the legacy, creating Clan jewelry for the children and grandchildren of our first customers.
