FAQs

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

These pieces typically feature solid sterling silver mounts, often decorated with hand-engraved scrollwork, and are inlaid with naturally occurring Scottish stones such as various colours of agate, jasper, bloodstone, and sometimes cairngorm quartz.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-appropriate closures such as a C-clasp and tubular hinge, handcrafted silver engraving, closely set genuine hardstones, and occasionally British silver hallmarks or makers marks.

In interiors, such items are often displayed in glass top cases or shadow boxes as cabinet curiosities, whilst in fashion they can be pinned to heavy wool lapels, scarves, or collars to add historical texture.

Silver should be gently cleaned with a specialised microfibre polishing cloth to avoid abrading the stones, and items should be stored in dry, tarnish-resistant compartments away from direct sunlight and moisture.
