Scottish Pebble Jewel Moss Agate Brooch

Scottish pebble jewelry is one of our favorite categories of Victorian jewels. This pebble brooch is so elegantly simple, highlighting the natural beauty of the stone. A disc of moss agate with a subtly beveled edge...and that's it. Perfect. The brooch is finished with the hinged pin and c-clasp commonly seen in this era. This lush moss agate, arguably, resembles an aerial view of the Scottish Highlands. Circa 1860.

This brooch evokes for me the image of Queen Victoria and her love of Scottish jewelry. Once the ladies of England see their lovely young Queen wearing her Scottish jewels, Scottish pebble jewelry becomes all the rage.

Details.....The brooch measures 1.57" in diameter. In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on antique and vintage jewels, we consider it part of their charm.
