FAQs

Scottish pebble jewellery consists of ornaments crafted from native stones like agate, jasper, and bloodstone, set in silver. It gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, particularly after Queen Victoria established her residence at Balmoral Castle and popularised Highland traditions.

These pieces traditionally utilise locally sourced Scottish hardstones cut and polished by lapidaries, mounted in hand-engraved sterling or coin silver. Craftsmen frequently employed motifs inspired by Celtic art, Highland weaponry, and equestrian buckles.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate fastenings such as a C-clasp and a pin that extends beyond the body of the brooch, often accompanied by a safety chain. The silver work frequently exhibits hand-engraved foliate or strapwork patterns rather than modern cast detailing.

Antique brooches can be worn traditionally on lapels, scarves, and woollen coats, or modernly repurposed to fasten heavy knitwear, secure silk wraps, or accent the waistline of a structured dress.

Silver components should be maintained using a specialist polishing cloth, taking care to avoid abrasive dips that can damage softer stones like agate. Jewellery should be stored in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment away from direct sunlight.
