FAQs

Silver should be cleaned gently with a specialist microfibre cloth to avoid abrasive damage to the softer, polished agate inlays, and kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity.

Such small decorative objects add tactile interest and historical depth when displayed on a bookshelf, coffee table, or desk, serving as a subtle focal point within a curated collection of curiosities.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining the quality of the stone cutting, the weight and purity of the sterling silver mounts, and checking for period hallmarks or makers marks which are frequently stamped on the interior rims.

These pieces typically feature mounts and bases crafted from sterling silver, housing finely polished native Scottish hardstones such as bloodstone, jasper, and various coloured agates, often bezel-set and meticulously hand-engraved.

Scottish pebble jewellery and silver boxes gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, particularly championed by Queen Victorias fondness for Balmoral and the Scottish Highlands, leading to a surge in tourist and traditional pebbleware production around the mid-19th century.
