FAQs

Victorian pebble and stone brooches gained immense popularity during the 19th century, particularly influenced by Queen Victorias affection for the Scottish Highlands and local crafts.

Authentic pieces typically feature sterling silver mounts set with locally sourced semi-precious stones such as Scottish agates, jaspers, cairngorms, amethysts, and citrines.

Authentication involves examining the C-clasp closures, integrated pin mechanisms, hand-cut stone bezels, and hallmarks or metal testing consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing techniques.

This piece can be pinned to lapels of wool blazers, fastened at the neckline of a blouse, or used to secure heavy knit scarves and shawls.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth to remove surface oils, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners that can dislodge cemented stones or damage soft minerals.
