Victorian Silver Dirk Brooch set with Agates & Citrine

773L
731 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A neat silver dirk that was made circa 1860-1880 for the Scottish burgeoning tourist trade. This was because Queen Victoria had purchased Balmoral castle in the 1860s. Many pieces were made as tourist trinkets to sell to the travellers who flocked to the Cairngorms to discover the beauty and serenity of the Scottish mountains. Today they are still sought after because of the craftsmanship and the use of the pebbles found in the river beds and polished to form these lovely pieces of jewellery.
