This Victorian antique brooch dates to around 1880 and originates from Scotland in the distinctive Highland Hunting Lodge style. The piece takes the form of a stylised bow or fleur-de-lys motif composed of multiple inlaid agate and moss agate stones. The individual multi-coloured stones display rich shades of red, deep brown, and translucent white, with delicate natural moss-like patterns and dark inclusions visible across the surfaces. Each polished stone is individually set within a fine silver bezel setting, featuring carefully bevelled stone edges and precise flush fitting that creates a seamless geometric pattern. A secure C-style clasp and an elongated pin are fitted to the reverse. The brooch measures 1.5 cm high, 3.5 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. In a modern home, this wearable antique serves as a decorative accessory and fastens effectively to traditional Scottish tweeds, woollen jackets, scarves, or shawls during cooler weather.

FAQs

Scottish pebble jewellery features locally sourced gemstones such as agates, jaspers, and cairngorms set into silver or gold mountings. The style gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era, largely driven by Queen Victorias affection for Scotland and her estate at Balmoral.

These pieces typically combine hand-cut, polished hardstones like agate, bloodstone, and jasper with sterling or coin silver settings. The stones were expertly shaped and fitted together using fine channel or bezel settings.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut and bevelled agate panels fitted seamlessly into silver mounts, often secured with extended C-clasps and tubed hinges. They frequently feature natural patination on the silver backings and lack modern solder marks or machine precision.

An antique agate brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened onto a scarf, or used to embellish a coat. It can also be worn attached to a ribbon as a choker or accenting the collar of a shirt.

Clean the brooch gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to polish the silver without scratching the stones. Avoid submerging the piece in water or using chemical cleaners, as moisture can weaken the underlying foil backing or setting adhesives.
