Victorian Scottish Silver & Agate Interwoven Brooch

897M
580 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A lovely example of a Scottish silver brooch that was made circa 1860. It has been set with various different polished and shaped agates that were sourced in the river beds in Scotland, such as bloodstone and jasper. This style grew up around Queen Victoria’s purchase of Balmoral Castle in 1860. Many pieces were made as tourist trinkets to the travellers who flocked to the Cairngorms to discover the beauty and serenity of the Scottish mountains. These precious brooches are as wearable nowadays as they were one hundred and forty years ago!
