Estate Victorian Scottish Dirk Pin With Citrine and Agate
The Scottish Dirk
A Dirk is defined as a dagger with a straight blade. The Scottish Dirk, also referred to as the “Highland Dirk” was a traditional symbol and ceremonial weapon used by Highland Officers and later worn by pipers and drummers of the Scottish Highland regiments.
Scottish Citrine
The warm yellowish-brown variety of citrine used to adorn this pin was traditionally mined in the Cairngorm Mountain range in Scotland. Cairngorms were customarily used in Scottish jewelry such as kilt ornaments and brooches made during the Victorian period.
Pebble Jewelry
A variety of agates can be found throughout central and western Scotland. Antique Scottish jewelry made using Cairngorm and agates is also referred to as “pebble” jewelry. The use of agates in jewelry dates back to the middle of the 19th century and are most commonly seen in brooches, pendants, bracelets and other pieces, making them popular collectors items.

I have always known Nelson Coleman to do amazing work! Jaci has designed a gorgeous ring for me in the past, and now... they were able to restore some sentimental pieces given to me as a child. Everyone is so wonderful - very professional and kind. I am very selective about the jewelry I wear, but Nelson Coleman plays a part in what I do wear. So excited to wear my restored necklace again!! Thank you to everyone at Nelson Coleman!read more

I always have a great experience with Nelson Coleman. Susie is extremely helpful and welcoming when I come in to get my... engagement ring and wedding bands cleaned and polished. I have had a few issues with stones falling out and the most recent time she worked to ensure my experience was great even though I was frustrated. I appreciate the personal attention they give and wanting to make sure the experience is enjoyable whether you are buying or just getting something serviced!read more

We went here to get my engagement ring resized. It's an heirloom with a lot of sentimental value, so we were a little... nervous. They took great care of it though. We had such a good experience that we decided to go back when it was time to buy our wedding rings. They custom made them for us, working closely with us to make sure the rings matched our vision. The whole process was a great experience. When we picked up the rings, we were both happily surprised! They are so detailed! This has become our go-to jeweler.read more

This place is the best! Everyone was super nice and helpful. You go to a lot of jewelry stores and people are on you... immediately and pushing you to buy right away even if you’re not ready. Not at Nelson Coleman. They were kind, helpful, and respectful of our needs and timeline. Great experience all around. Highly recommended.read more

Excellent customer service, and a beautiful collection of fine jewellery. I've had two appointments with Marie now, and... both times she was extremely kind and very helpful. Other workers in the store were also friendly and were willing to weigh in with their thoughts as they passed by. Great atmosphere and lovely products - thanks for the help Marie + Nelson Coleman staff!read more
