Very few of us could pull off a brooch of this size but here it is anyway.

This silver Penannular brooch is from the British Museum.

I could wear that around my neck!

Two pieces of family silver. The plaid brooch is just under 3.5 inches.

Steve, who did that belong to? Any pictures or paintings of anyone wearing anything close to that?

Mine's about 3.5

anything between about 3" and 4-1/2" is good - too small and it looks lost, too big and you'll list to port....

Rex,

Wonderful examples my friend! I absolutely love the style of your brooches-I assume the stag's head is from your family's arms? Perhaps personal? Or perhaps a connection to the Clan MacDhai? Get well my friend-I'd love to have that dram with you in Badenoch.

God Bless,
