We've been making Scottish Clan Crest Badges for Over 30 Years

Don Kimble had been designing and making custom jewelry for over ten years when George Carr came to visit his shop. Dressed in his finest highland attire, Mr. Carr was the picture of a Scottish gentleman. He wore a quality worsted wool kilt and tailored Argyle jacket, a finely tooled leather sporran draped below his belt and the carved handle of the skean dhu tucked into the top of his right stocking appeared to be a work of art. However, Mr. Carr was not satisfied with what should have been the crowning touch to his attire - the Scottish clan crest badge attached to his balmoral. The poor detail and electroplated finish of the clan crest badge he wore seemed to be in stark contrast to the quality and good looks of everything else he wore. And there it was atop his head for all to see!

Mr. Carr commissioned Mr. Kimble to make a Clan Carr crest badge of proper size and weight in solid sterling silver. It was to have fine detail, a highly polished finish and a motto that was engraved into the sterling. It would be a quality piece of jewelry, worthy of passing on to generations of Carrs to come.  Mr. Carr was so happy with his crest badge that he proceeded to tell all his family and friends, even strangers that he met at Scottish games. Requests for Scottish Clan crest badges began to pour in. Although it was necessary to implement some new production methods to help speed the craftsmanship, all of our clan crest badges are still made by hand one at a time.

Today, over 30 years after Mr. Carr's initial order, and after hundreds of sales to Scottish Clan members all over the world, we now have over one hundred fifty different Scottish clan crest badges in stock and continue to add new ones upon request. With our company no clan is too small to have its own quality crest badge.
