Scottish Agate or Pebble Jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria. When she travelled to the Highlands with Prince Albert she fell in love with the dramatic landscape and went on to purchase Balmoral, the rest as they say is history.
This love extended to all things Scottish and when the London papers reported that the couple were wearing “polished pebble brooches made from local stones” it set a trend that would last for decades and even spread to Europe.
The Silver is bright with no dings and the pin is in fine working order making her ready to be worn or gifted straight away.
Steeped in English history a unique and captivating piece of Victorian craftsmanship which looks fabulous when worn.
