This beautiful antique Scottish Silver Agate brooch is Victorian Circa 1860.

Scottish jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria as it became a souvenir of her frequent trips to Scotland and her Scottish Castle Balmoral from the mid 1800s.

The wonderful brooch displays a beautiful engraved star and buckle inlaid with colourful Agates.

Star and Moon images became popular during the late 19th Century as an interest in astronomy grew. Stars symbolise guidance and are seen to lead you in the direction you are meant to go.

Agate is a strong mineral sometimes known as the earth rainbow for it’s patterned texture that shows varying colours the earth can produce.

Each Agate is unique with beautiful natural colouring and polished to perfection.

The brooch is set in Silver and fitted with a sturdy pin and catch.

This is a lovely, collectable Scottish piece that looks beautiful when worn!
