Product Details

All jewellery and Kilt Pins made with precious metals over the required weight are assayed and hallmarked in Edinburgh. This mark has symbols for metal fineness, where it was marked (a wee castle for Edinburgh), what year it was marked and Islay's own makers mark - her initials IS in a circle.
The jewellery and Kilt Pins are made by Islay Spalding in her workshop at Double Door Studios in Dundee. It's hand made and hand finished, therefore some variations in shape, size and texture are normal. When outsourcing is required for certain techniques or equipment (such as casting, engraving or some stone setting) she has a range of skilled people she works with to get the job done.
Rings are made in UK sizes. If you need to provide your ring size, please either get in touch to arrange to be measured at Double Door Studios in Dundee, or go to a high street or other local jeweller, they will be happy to help....no one really likes resizing a ring!
The jewellery and Kilt Pins are presented in sturdy branded boxes made from recycled cardboard.
