Taken with care and the best camera settings. It will probably be an insurance photo if the centre stone is actually an amethyst! Nevertheless, I could use it on my Scottish kilt - to hold it together. Or on the Scottish sash worn over the shoulder by ladies!
Perhaps that's just a dream - gave my kilt away to my Japanese daughter in law who was then told by her children (my grandchildren) that she looked "gross". Sad emoji.
Oh people do say the silliest things sometimes! Kilts are awesome and I think everyone looks good in one. Pretty brooch. Easier to see than it was on your lovely jumper.
It's lovely - I have a similar one with a cairngorm stone in it and it's perfect for a sash! In fact, it was given to me for my dancing when I was about 10. The Aboyne Dress is different from the kilt outfit, and comprises a tartan drindle skirt with petticoat, a velvet lace up waistcoat with tails, a puffy white blouse and a tartan, over-the-shoulder- sash. Much more feminine that the basic kilt outfit with kilt, thick knitted tartan socks and a blouse and velvet waistcoat. Ah, I still have the latter outfit (and still could wear it), but not the former. And I'm with Casa ... kilts are awesome and so is your brooch.
@jamibann I can visualise the A Dress. I once danced the highland dances ( when I was about 10! ) and had part of this dress. I always love the sway of the kilt - in no other dress - even just walking!
The brooch is absolutely gorgeous. I’m glad you took this close-up shot of it so we could see the beautiful details. As far as the children are concerned, they obviously are not old enough to appreciate the value of things like the kilt yet
