The Royal Scotsman Silver

A project for The Royal Scotsman

It is always a privilege to work with iconic Scottish brands, and few are as synonymous with luxury and heritage as the Royal Scotsman. I was commissioned to design a suite of bespoke silver accessories that captured the prestige of one of the world’s most famous luxury trains.

The Collection: The brief was to create a range of functional yet beautiful pieces, including a kilt pin, stick pin, cap pin, and brooch. Each piece was crafted from high-quality sterling silver, chosen for its classic lustre and durability. The unifying element across the collection was the Royal Scotsman crest, which had to be rendered with absolute precision to maintain the integrity of their brand identity.

The Craftsmanship: Translating a detailed logo into a small-scale piece of jewellery requires meticulous attention to detail. These items were designed to serve two purposes: as exclusive mementos available for purchase on the train, and as prestigious gifts for the company’s most valued clients. Every pin and brooch underwent a rigorous finishing process to ensure it met the exacting standards expected by passengers of such a high-end travel experience.

A Lasting Connection: These sterling silver pieces now travel the length and breadth of the country, serving as a wearable connection to the Highlands. Whether worn on a lapel or a kilt, they represent a blend of traditional silversmithing and modern corporate branding. It was a pleasure to contribute to the Royal Scotsman’s legacy of luxury and to see my work become part of their passengers’ journeys.
