Antique Victorian Scottish Agate Brooch Silver

This wonderful antique Victorian Scottish agate brooch is modelled in silver and inlaid with five polished natural agates cut to fit the brooches unique, twisted design, resembling a seashell. They exhibit the stones characteristic earthy tones and banded patterns that are naturally formed and distinct to each stone.

Scottish Pebble jewellery grew in popularity in the mid-1800s and saw traditional Celtic designs decorated with an abundance of coloured agates and granites. It was a personal favourite of Queen Victoria’s whose frequent trips to Balmoral Castle saw her return with many beautiful souvenirs that influenced the trend across Britain.

This highly collectable Victorian Scottish agate brooch dates to the mid 19th century and has remained in excellent condition. It’s engraved with the date: 25/04/48 on the reverse, likely added by a later owner of the piece.
