Antique Victorian Scottish Brooch Penannular Pin Circa 1860

Product Details

This wonderful antique Victorian Silver Scottish Penannular brooch is 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.

This Penannular style brooch is fitted with a Silver pin which slides around the outer gallery so that it can be pinned in different ways.

The Penannular is a type of Celtic brooch which was worn as a clothes fastener by Scottish elites during the medieval period.

The brooch is adorned with banded Agates and four colourful Quartz stones all set in a beautifully engraved Silver gallery.

Quartz is a very protective and grounding stone which is said to bring protection from negative energy.

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

This is a unique Scottish brooch that’s steeped in history, a real collectors piece!

Weighs 20.3 grams.

Measures 43mm across x 44mm down.
