This Victorian Scottish brooch dates to around 1880 and takes a circular form measuring 1 cm high and 4 cm wide. The piece is constructed from gold and set with a central faceted amber citrine gemstone within a four-pointed quatrefoil setting. Twelve moss agates and bloodstones are inlaid across the design, incorporating green and orange stones with dark red panels, complemented by hand engraving on the metal surface and a pin with a "C" clasp on the back. In a modern interior setting, this brooch works well displayed within a collection or worn on a tweed jacket. The visible details include an outer circular frame housing inlaid stones, ornate celtic engraving between the stones, and claw settings holding the central citrine gemstone.

FAQs

Scottish pebble jewellery gained significant popularity during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, largely driven by Queen Victorias affection for Balmoral Castle and Scottish culture. Craftspeople set native agates, quartz, and jaspers into hand-engraved silver and gold settings.

These brooches typically feature indigenous Scottish agates, jasper, bloodstone, and cairngorm quartz or citrine set into finely worked sterling silver or high-carat gold mounts.

Authentic pieces feature precise hand-cut stone fittings, period-appropriate fasteners such as C-clasps with extended pins, detailed engraving along the metal borders, and natural inclusions in the inlaid stones.

While designed as wearable personal adornment, antique brooches can be displayed in velvet-lined shadow boxes, arranged on vanity trays, or integrated into decorative wall frames as curated collectibles.

Clean carefully using a soft, dry lint-free cloth and store in a dry location. Avoid chemical cleaners or submersion in water, as moisture can degrade historic settings and stone adhesives.
