A gorgeously marked pair of Scottish Agate drop earrings, the wonderful gems have natural patterns and colours which are shown in their wonderful earthy contrast; we believe the stones to be Agates from perhaps the Perth or Fife area. Read further about them here.
'Scottish' Jewellery became very fashionable in the mid 19th century, popularised by the visits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Scotland and after their purchase of the Balmoral Estate in 1852.
From the Victoria and Albert Museum;
'In the early years of the 19th century, the poetry and novels of Sir Walter Scott put Scotland on the tourist map. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were very fond of Scotland. Scottish pebble jewellery, already fashionable in the 18th century, became a popular souvenir. Birmingham jewellers responded to the demand, sometimes using stones from countries other than Scotland.'
The fittings are of silver, and in perfect condition; they measure 4cm from the wire, one everso slightly longer than the other.
