📏 Balanced proportions, secure wear.
Overall size 2″ × 2″ (50 × 50 mm) with a premium nickel-silver bar pin on the back, oriented east–west for stability. The central crest measures 11/16″ (≈17.5 mm) in diameter.

FAQs
❓ Pewter or sterling—what’s the difference?
Pewter offers a classic satin look and great value; sterling silver provides a brighter, precious-metal finish with added heirloom appeal.
❓ Will it sit straight?
Yes—the east–west bar pin orientation and 2″ footprint keep the brooch steady on jackets and plaids.
❓ Is this a Coat of Arms?
No—this is the Clan crest (the part clansmen wear) within the belt & buckle. The Coat of Arms belongs solely to the Clan Chief.
Wear your Scottish heritage with pride—north, south, east, and west.
