Georgian Carnelian Agate Brooch in 9ct Gold Scottish Hardstone Jewellery

Antique Georgian Carnelian Agate Brooch in 9ct Gold c.1830 Scottish Hardstone Jewellery

A beautiful Georgian carnelian agate brooch dating to circa 1830, set in tested 9ct gold and showcasing the refined craftsmanship associated with the Scottish agate-working tradition.

This antique hardstone brooch features a bold square cabochon-cut carnelian with exceptional natural colour variation, ranging from warm amber and burnt orange through to rich oxblood red tones. The stone displays attractive translucency and natural internal patterning, giving it depth and vibrancy in changing light.

Hand-crafted during the transitional Georgian to early Victorian period, the brooch retains its original early pin and clasp fitting. The elegant minimal gold mount allows the natural beauty of the agate to remain the focal point, reflecting the understated sophistication of early 19th-century British jewellery design.

Georgian Scottish agate jewellery remains highly sought after among collectors for its individuality, craftsmanship, and use of richly coloured natural hardstones.
