Beautiful  Victorian Scottish Agate Paisley Pin
This is an outstanding example of the art of antique Scottish agate jewelry. This brooch, in the form of a traditional Tara is a unique rendition. It is a panoply of color with curved paisley shaped mauve agates blending with Montrose gray,bloodstone and jasper. The deep cairngorm and amethyst are the perfect foil of color to the mellow agates. The silver work and engraving too are superior. The reverse has all original mounts. The small ring is for a safety chain if so desired. It measures 2 6/8 inches down X 2 1/4 inches across.

I have collected and sold these brooches for over 25 years and have never seen a Tara in this form. It is extraordinary and in excellent, all original condition. Scotland, circa 1880.
