Victorian, Large Silver Scottish Malachite & Jasper Brooch

Super striking Victorian Silver Scottish pebble brooch, c1860s

I love an Antique Scottish pebble brooch especially when they feature Malachite, it is so very striking. I love this design as it has such a contemporary aesthetic for a piece over 160 years old!

The brooch is a top quality example, the polished malachite and Jasper stones are skillfully and painstakingly set upon a slate backing, within a Silver framework, with a domed convex profile

The brooch is made up of hardstones of Malachite, Leopard skin Jasper and brown Jasper that contain natural characteristic marks and blemishes within the stone

A gorgeous tactile piece with its silky smooth polished stones

The brooch closes securely with a simple c clasp and pin that is perfectly straight, upon a strong hinge

Scottish agate / pebble jewellery became very popular in the mid to late 1800s. Prince Albert and Queen Victoria purchased Balmoral Castle in Scotland in 1852, Queen Victoria brought back souvenirs from her stay and of course what Queen Victoria did many others would follow and agate brooches and other Scottish agate jewellery became all the rage!
