About This Sterling Silver Carrick Brooch

An oval silver frame holds a rounded rose at its centre, with leaves and long stems curving around it and a neat lattice of lines to one side. The open design lets your clothing show through, so the sterling silver Carrick brooch sits lightly on a jacket or scarf. The back shows the hallmarks and a long pin, which keeps it secure when worn.

The Mackintosh Rose

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928) was a Scottish architect and designer, and a leading figure of the Glasgow Style. His stylised rose became one of the most recognisable symbols of Scottish design, and it continues to inspire jewellers today. This sterling silver Carrick brooch is a lovely example, pairing that familiar rose with the clean lines he is known for.

An Edinburgh Hallmark

This brooch was hallmarked in Edinburgh, home to Scotland’s assay office, whose traditional town mark is a castle. With the CJL maker’s mark and a 1992 date, the hallmarks tell you exactly who made it, where it was tested and when it was marked. Dated pieces like this are always useful for collectors of modern Scottish silver.

Caring for Your Silver Brooch

Clean your sterling silver Carrick brooch gently with a soft silver polishing cloth, working along the frame and stems. Avoid over-polishing the darker recesses, as they help to show off the detail. Put your brooch on after applying perfume or hairspray, and store it in a dry pouch or box, away from damp, to help slow tarnishing.
