14k Gold Ornate Irish/Celtic Kilt Pin Penannular Pendant. 1" Hand-Crafted

Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!

For sale is a 14k gold Irish/Scottish/Celtic kilt pendant. This is a rare pendant version of a Celtic, or penannular brooch (penannular means formed as an incomplete ring.). These brooches were originally fasteners for kilts, often rather large. They are especially associated with the beginning of the Early Medieval period in Ireland and Britain.

Beginning as utilitarian fasteners in the Iron Age and Roman period, they are especially associated with the highly ornate brooches produced in precious metal for the elites of Ireland and Scotland from about 700 to 900, which are popularly known as Celtic brooches or similar terms.

This pendant is hand-crafted, solid and good-sized (though smaller than the original brooches). The horseshoe shaped arch is deeply engraved with an elaborate scrolling design. The head of the pin is elaborately engraved; the pointed end is polished smooth

The pendant measures an inch long and has a jump ring bail to accommodate your chain. It can be worn by man or a woman. Perfect for anyone with Irish or Scottish roots or a special connection to things Celtic!
