Tartan Twist Jewellery | Cool Things

Posted on by

Nothing signifies hazy, lazy summer days more than brightly coloured flowers and dazzling
butterflies. For summer 2012 Tartan Twist, the award-winning Scottish jewellery brand, is
launching a range of vibrant dichroic glass butterfly and flower pendants on tartan ribbons. I think they make beautiful jewellery.

Jazzy, funky and lots of fun, the pendants are made by fusing gold and silver oxides within layers of
glass to give a plaid effect. With a luminous finish, the pendants have psychedelic overtones and great
depth of colour. The colours in the glass shift depending on the angle at which they are viewed. No
two pieces are exactly the same.

The Butterfly and Flower pendants come in five colours on extra-long tartan ribbons. The pendants are
also available on plain black satin ribbons. Tartan Twist jewellery is designed and made in Scotland and
each piece comes beautifully packaged in a hot pink ribbon-tied box with a card giving its provenance.

Gillian Crawford of Tartan Twist says: “Our Butterfly and Flower pendants are the perfect summer accessories. Wear them with a colour block dress or pastels jeans to give an edge to a summer outfit. They are ideal for festival goers – just add micro shorts, wellies, tee-shirt and a Stetson”
