FAQs

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

These pieces typically feature locally sourced Scottish agates, jaspers, and bloodstones, set into solid silver or occasionally low-grade gold mounts with hand-engraved detailing.

Authentic pieces often exhibit traditional C-clasps or tubular hinge pins, hand-carved stone inlays without modern adhesives, and characteristic Victorian hallmarks or signs of period wear.

An antique brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the collar of a blouse, or used to anchor a heavy wool scarf for a sophisticated touch.

Store antique pieces in a dry environment away from direct sunlight, clean silver gently with a specialist microfibre cloth, and avoid submerging multi-stone pieces in liquid cleaners to protect the settings.
