FAQs

A Victorian Scottish garter brooch is a traditional piece of jewellery shaped like a buckled garter, popularised during the 19th century under the influence of Queen Victoria and the romanticisation of the Scottish Highlands.

These pieces typically feature locally sourced Scottish stones such as various colours of agate, jasper, and bloodstone, set into silver mounts, often with engraved details.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate closures such as a C-clasp and tubular hinge, hand-cut natural stones with characteristic inclusions, and traditional silver hallmarks or testing characteristics consistent with mid-19th-century craftsmanship.

A vintage brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the neckline of a minimalist dress, or used to secure a wool scarf for a textured focal point.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned with a soft microfibre cloth to remove tarnish without abrasive dips, and stones should be kept dry, avoiding immersion in water or exposure to harsh chemicals to protect the settings.
