HEATHERGEMS make the perfect Gift, For someone special or a treat to yourself!  FOUND NOW ONLY AT NORTHGLEN ANTIQUES in HAYS, KS.

Heathergems are handcrafted from the stems of Scottish heather, renowned for its purple or white blooms.  The heather is collected from the Perthshire hills. The stems are then dried shotblasted to remove the bark and dyed various colors and compressed into a block . Approximately eighty tons of pressure is required to press the stems together. 

The heather block is then cut into slices and individual pieces are cut, shaped, filled and sanded by skilled craftworkers before being lacquered to give the final finish. Our range celebrates both traditional celtic designs and more contemporary Scottish Styles.  This unique process means no two heathergems are the same and lets you take home your very own piece of Scotland!
