FAQs

Scottish pebble jewellery features native stones such as agate, jasper, and bloodstone set in silver. It gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era, particularly after Queen Victoria established a royal residence at Balmoral and popularised Highland traditions.

These pieces typically incorporate hand-cut and polished native Scottish stones, including various coloured agates, jaspers, and occasionally freshwater pearls, mounted in sterling silver or silver-gilt settings.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut stones with natural colour variations, traditional claw or collet settings, and period-appropriate clasps. Hallmarks or silver weight stamps may also be present, though many earlier pieces are unmarked.

Antique jewellery can be displayed on a dedicated stand as part of a vanity vignette or styled with contemporary minimalist attire to let the historic craftsmanship and rich stone colours stand out.

Store jewellery in a dry, tarnish-resistant lined box away from direct sunlight. Clean silver gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid immersing stone-set pieces in harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners.
