Antique Brooch - Victorian Scottish Cairngorm Pebble Brooch

A beautiful example of Victorian Scottish pebble jewelry, featuring richly inlaid agates and bloodstone surrounding faceted Cairngorm quartz and amethyst cabochons in a substantial silver setting. This item is a brooch but it also has a little loop you could add a jump ring or bail to!

Rich Scottish pebble work in deep bloodstone, red jasper, and beautifully banded agate surrounds a trio of glowing faceted quartz stones in this striking Victorian brooch. The center stones have that classic warm whisky-toned “Cairngorm” look so closely associated with traditional Scottish jewelry, while the vivid purple amethyst cabochons at each end add a beautiful contrast of color. Stones have been tested.

The silver setting has substantial hand-worked character with finely cut inlaid hardstones fitted into dramatic scrolling forms — a hallmark of Scottish agate jewelry of the 19th century revival period. The combination of banded agates, bloodstone, jasper, amethyst, and Cairngorm quartz gives the piece that unmistakable Scottish pebble jewelry aesthetic collectors love.
