FAQs

This style gained immense popularity during the 19th century, largely influenced by Queen Victorias affection for Balmoral and Scottish traditions, featuring native stones set in gold.

Pieces typically incorporate locally sourced Scottish hardstones such as jasper, bloodstone, and various coloured agates, mounted in gold or gilt metal.

Authentic pieces often feature characteristic closed-back settings, C-clasps with hinged pin stems typical of the 19th century, and hand-engraved detailing on the metalwork.

The piece can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the neckline of a heavy knit jumper, or used to secure a wool scarf.

Store the item in a dry, padded jewellery box away from direct sunlight, and clean the stones gently with a soft, damp cloth without submerging the setting in water.
