FAQs

Celtic Revival jewellery draws inspiration from ancient Celtic art and artefacts, experiencing significant popularity during the Victorian era due to a renewed interest in national heritage and folklore.

These items typically feature sterling silver or low-grade silver settings, often embellished with local hardstones such as malachite, jasper, bloodstone, and various coloured glass pastes or agates.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate closures such as C-clasps and hinged pin stems, hand-engraved detailing, and traditional hallmarks or maker marks corresponding to the nineteenth century.

This piece can be worn as a classic fastening on heavy wool garments, or displayed as a miniature work of art within a shadow box or glass top tray on a dressing table.

Store items in a dry, tarnish-resistant pouch away from direct sunlight, and clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding chemical dips that can damage softer decorative stones.
