This very special antique Scottish agate dirk is circa 1860. I have collected and appreciated the artistry of Scottish jewelry for over 30 years and when an item such as this appears it renews my passion. It was found oddly enough in a small shop in Paris, where I stopped in front of a window display over over 100 pieces of the finest antique tartan ware. Intrigued, I entered the shop and began speaking to the owner. She explained, she had purchased this very large collection from an elderly wom ...click for details

This Victorian, silver, Scottish agate serpent pin is circa 1850. Perhaps the rarest figural formal to find in Scottish agate jewelry, this is a fine example. Prince Albert presented Victoria with a snake ring symbolizing eternal love upon their betrothal. The people became fascinated with the symbolism, as well as the beauty of form and lovely pieces of jewelry were created to meet the demand . Queen Victoria's frequently visited her beloved Balmoral Castle wearing Scottish jewelry and d ...click for details

It is with pleasure that I offer this brooch from my personal collection. It is a work of art, conceived and executed by a superior lapidary. It is designed with a geometric pattern utilizing softly contrasting fossilized agates. Tiny mustard colored agates accent each of the sections and the black striping. This is time intensive work, taking hours and hours to inlay each stone and then place them on the slate backing. The sterling frame, like a painting, suits the design and doesn't confli ...click for details
