FAQs

These pieces originate from the mid-to-late 19th century, heavily popularised by Queen Victorias affinity for Balmoral and Scottish traditions. They typically feature locally sourced banded stones set in sterling silver.

Craftsmen utilised sterling silver, frequently adorned with hand-engraved foliate or geometric motifs, paired with naturally occurring quartz varieties like jasper, bloodstone, and banded grey or brown agates.

Authentic items often display period-appropriate C-clasps, hinged pin stems, and occasionally pseudo-hallmarks or makers marks characteristic of Edinburgh or Glasgow silversmiths from the 1860s.

This piece can be worn as a statement lapel fastening on heavy wool coats or structured blazers, bringing a touch of historical heritage to modern attire.

Store the item in a dry, tarnish-resistant lined box away from direct sunlight. Clean the silver gently with a specialist microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid dips that may damage the natural stones.
