Scottish Victorian 9ct Gold Agate Cross Pendant

19th century

Sold by Corvidae Antique

Description

A beautifully engraved Victorian cross pendant in nine-carat gold set with slices of polished natural Scottish agate. It's not unusual to find these Victorian "pebble" pieces in silver but it's quite rare to find them in gold.

Scottish jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria from the mid 1800s when she and Prince Albert frequently visited Scotland and her Scottish castle Balmoral. She loved all things Scottish and spent much time in the Highlands and Cairngorm mountains where these Scottish pebble stones were collected.

The cross is in very good antique condition with no chips or cracks to the agates. There is a minor split in the gold on one back edge.

Size: 3 x 2cm.

Weight: 1.7g.

Please note the chain in the photographs is not included in this listing.
