subject: Traditional Jewellery Designs In Scotland [print this page] Once, long ago, each jeweller had his own speciality and style of designing and making jewellery. Sometimes, jewellers from a certain region followed a particular style of designing and that became a trademark for that region. Scottish jewellery was also a typical kind and could be identified from jewellery from other places. Just like the Scottish Kilt or the Scotch whiskey, a jeweller from Edinburgh made his own trademark jewellery which could be identified as jewellery from Edinburgh.
There are many jewellery designers who work on traditional Scottish and Celtic designs and you can get this traditional jewellery from only those jewelers in Edinburgh who specialize in this kind of jewellery.
Celtic designs are evolved from age old Celtic motifs and designs that have been part of the range of jewellery in Edinburgh for men and women for ages. These designs are used to make pieces of jewellery such as rings, pendants, bangles etc. that have been used by the local people for ages. A Scottish jeweler will sell traditional as well as contemporary jewellery made in silver and gold of varying purity. The traditional jewellery in Edinburgh is special since the contemporary jewellery in Edinburgh is no different from the jewellery that you can buy in London or Manchester. The only difference perhaps in the jeweller since you could be having a family jeweller in Edinburgh. The traditional sterling silver jewellery from Edinburgh is also famous as it carries traditional motifs that are seen in historical drawings and paintings that are much admired these days.
Other than the traditional Scottish jewellery in Edinburgh, some really good contemporary jewellery designers reside in Edinburgh and can design exclusive jewellery that is manufactured locally. Many tourists opt for traditional and contemporary jewellery in Scotland to take back home as souvenirs. Again all precautions when buying jewellery anywhere should be taken when buying jewellery in Edinburgh. Always go for those jewellers in Edinburgh who have been recommended by friends because of their excellent service and attitude. Also it is always better to find a jeweller who also offers a complete repair service as often repair work is needed.
Any good jeweller in Edinburgh also have their own website where all information about the products they sell, the location of their store and information regarding brands they keep is given. Other guidelines such as what different kinds of traditional designs signify and what to keep in mind when shopping for a wedding ring is also given on the website. It is better to be armed with the right information before going for shopping of jewellery in Edinburgh.
