FAQs

Victorian Scottish pebble jewellery gained immense popularity during the 19th century, largely due to Queen Victorias affection for Balmoral and the Scottish Highlands, which popularised local stones like agate, jasper, and bloodstone set in silver.

These items typically feature locally sourced Scottish hardstones such as banded agate, jasper, and bloodstone, meticulously cut, polished, and flush-set into handcrafted sterling or unmarked silver mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate closures such as C-clasps and long pins, high-quality lapidary work with tightly fitted stone segments, and natural mineral inclusions rather than synthetic materials.

These versatile pieces can be pinned to modern wool lapels, silk scarves, velvet headbands, or displayed as miniature works of art in custom shadow boxes.

Store them in a dry, tarnish-resistant lined box, avoid immersion in liquid jewellery cleaners which can damage porous stones or adhesives, and clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
