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.

Dating to the mid-19^th century, this exquisite Victorian Scottish agate brooch has remained in excellent condition. A great piece for collectors of Victorian heritage, with a mesmerising display of polished natural agates along the front.
