FAQs

Scottish pebble jewellery became immensely popular during the Victorian era, largely driven by Queen Victorias affection for Scotland and her estate at Balmoral. These pieces typically feature native Scottish stones such as agates, jaspers, and cairngorms set into silver or gold mountings.

Traditional pieces utilise locally sourced Scottish semi-precious stones, including banded agate, bloodstone, red jasper, and moss agate. These stones are hand-cut and inlaid into sterling silver or gold mounts, often decorated with hand-engraved scrolling patterns.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature hand-cut, burnished stone inlays fitted precisely into metal channels, accompanied by hand-engraved ornamentation. Many original silver brooches from this era were unmarked, but exhibit characteristic long pin stems that extend beyond the brooch rim.

An antique Scottish brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, used to fasten a heavy knit scarf, or attached to a winter coat for a subtle touch of heritage character. It can also be worn clustered with modern silver pins on a denim jacket.

Clean the piece gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a dedicated silver polishing cloth, taking care not to rub the stone inlays forcefully. Avoid submerging the brooch in water or liquid chemical cleaners, as moisture can compromise the settings or adhesives holding the agates in place.
