FAQs

Clean silver gently with a specialist polishing cloth while avoiding harsh liquid chemical dips, as moisture and chemicals can damage the natural adhesive or porous composition of the historical stones.

These versatile pieces can be worn pinned to modern wool coats, blazers, or scarves, or displayed on a fabric backing inside a shadow box frame as part of a curated antique collection.

Authentic pieces usually feature tightly fitted, bevelled natural stones set in handcrafted silver frames with C-clasps or tubular hinge pins typical of the 19th century, often lacking modern hallmarks due to their exemption status.

These pieces typically feature local hardstones such as various coloured agates, jaspers, bloodstones, and cairngorms, hand-cut and set into sterling silver mountings.

Scottish pebble jewellery gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, largely driven by Queen Victorias fondness for Balmoral Castle and the Scottish Highlands, which popularised traditional Celtic motifs and native stones.
