"Scottish Jewel: 19th Century Tie Pin "
Moving a little outside the framework of kilt pins intended to recall Scottish customs on a traditional tartan costume, here is a 19th century tie pin, taking up all the codes of Scottish jewelry, but intended to adorn a city outfit. It is decorated with a crowned coat of arms adorned with a citrine in its center, and bordered with Kairngorn granite. Tie pins in the 19th century, beyond decorative pleasure, were used to block the silk knot that was worn at the collar. The fashion for Scottish jewelry was launched by Queen Victoria.
