Agate Anchor Brooch
During the middle of the 19th century, queen Victoria grew fond of Scotland and would frequently visit until she ended up purchasing Balmoral castle in 1852. Because of the queen’s fondness for Scotland, the English began wearing “Pebble” jewelry; a type of jewelry native to Scotland and uses agate, granite, amethyst, and other native precious stones, which are usually set in silver. This anchor brooch features beautifully hand chased silver and a luminous orange and yellow banded agate with clear, almost glasslike patches.
Period: 1870-1890
Silver and Agate
Dimensions: 3” x 1 3/4”
