Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Agate Brooch Pendant

This Victorian Scottish brooch pendant is crafted in silver and designed with the bold ornamental character associated with 19th century Scottish pebble jewelry. The oval form features engraved silver work, openwork scroll detailing, and polished banded agate panels with natural gray and white striation. At the center is a faceted yellow stone, likely period glass, set within an raised openwork frame that creates depth and contrast against the cool toned silver and agate border. The piece is fitted with both a pin stem and pendant loop, allowing it to be worn as either a brooch or pendant. Dating to circa late 19th century, this antique Scottish silver brooch reflects the Victorian fascination with Highland inspired jewelry, natural hardstones, and detailed silver craftsmanship. The piece weighs 33.7 grams and measures 2 1/4 inches wide, 1 1/8 inches long, and 3/4 inch high. There is wear and patina to the silver consistent with age.
