    My favorite kilt pin is a broach belonging to my late mother in law. I have other broaches (with matching earrings) that I could use while my wife wears the complimentary pieces. There are a few items with a Celtic theme that I can use for tie tacks or lapel pins.

    Some of our male members like our "bling" and find subtle ways to dash a piece on our attire. Ladies do not hold a patent on pizzaz but are appreciated when they find an item that makes a statement using a nice piece of jewelry.

    I don't mean to embarrass you with my out burst. Yours is an honest question. You may receive a broader answer.
    Anyone of either sex can wear what we define as jewellery. Whether that jewellery is classed as such or as an accessory. No boundaries ( except in one's own mind ) on Bling

    My wife's 20th anniversary ring was custom-crafted by a gold-smith called Finlayson; it's a twisted white gold design with old diamonds from her family and a couple of raw diamonds from mine. She loves the delicate work of Dougie Scott of Tain Silver (he retired a couple of years ago and Gordon Forbes is doing a fine job as the new man), and the old work of John Fraser of Inverness. She often wears a large silver plaid brooch from my family that has been re-purposed as a sash and shawl brooch for her.
