Dating from the late 19th century, this exquisite antique Victorian Scottish bow brooch is crafted in silver and beautifully inlaid with a striking array of polished, patterned agates, each carefully cut to follow the graceful curves of the ribbon design.
Scottish pebble jewellery reached its peak popularity in the mid-1800s, largely thanks to Queen Victoria, who frequently returned from Balmoral Castle with coveted Scottish souvenirs. The bow motif, representing a “Lover’s Knot” here, symbolised a loving bond or the “tying of the knot” between two people, suggesting this piece may have been a heartfelt love token or wedding gift.
A true collector’s treasure, this charming agate brooch would make a thoughtful gift for a loved one and sits beautifully on a lapel, showcasing its intricate and well-matched mosaic of natural agates.
