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.
