Scotland in September

Two Girls Gems Scottish Royalty Charm Bracelet

Fall came early this year when I visited Scotland last week.  Somehow my Minnesotan-turned-Californian cousin found and married a lovely Scottish lass.  The wedding, which took place in the Royal Burgh of Dornoch in the Highlands of Scotland on 9.10.11, was one of the most amazing events I've ever attended.  In fact, our entire vacation to this cool, misty, history drenched country was a fantastic experience.

I love everything old, so Scotland with its amazingly old cities and farms, ancient castles and rich traditions definitely met my definition of remarkable.  Being a color junkie, I loved the rich pastoral greens of the Highlands, the infinite greys of the stone walls that run throughout the countryside, and the varied jewel tones of the country's famous tartans.  And for the wedding, the bride chose the most lovely color for her bride's maids' dresses.  They were the perfect shade of ballet shoe pink.

It was the brilliant jewel-toned tartans and the bright colors of the Scottish flag that inspired our latest charm bracelet, the Scottish Royalty Charm Bracelet, pictured here.

The bracelet combines rich ruby red, vibrant lapis blue and creamy white pearls, all connected by a brilliant 14K gold filled chain.  In fact, I think I've been seeing those same jewel tones in all the fashion magazines this fall as well.  Like minds...
