Dainty little Victorian silver earrings set with polished pink and grey Scottish granite in the form of thistles.
Scottish jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria from the mid 1800s when she and Prince Albert frequently visited Scotland and her Scottish castle Balmoral. She loved all things Scottish and spent much time in the Highlands and Cairngorm mountains.
Although antique Scottish brooches are relatively common, earrings are much harder to track down and quite a rare find!

Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing and do ask if you have any questions!
