Victorian Scottish silver earrings set with polished slices of blue lace agate in a geometric design which has a surprisingly modern feel. The stone-set discs are quite deep, which gives them a pleasing coin-like quality.
Scottish jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria from the mid 1800s when she and Prince Albert frequently visited Scotland and her Scottish castle Balmoral. She loved all things Scottish and spent much time in the Highlands and Cairngorm mountains where these "pebble" stones were collected.
• Condition: The earrings are in excellent antique condition with a lovely aged patina.
• Fixing: Sturdy silver ear wires, supplied with tiny silicone "keepers" to pop on the ends for security.
• Era: Victorian (c.1837-1901).
• Size: The circles measure 2cm diameter, the total drop from the top of the ear wire is 3.5cm.
• Weight: 11.4g.
