Scottish jewellery was at the height of popularity in the mid-1800s and saw traditional Celtic designs decorated with an abundance of coloured gemstones. It was a personal favourite of Queen Victorias whose frequent trips to Balmoral Castle saw her return with many beautiful souvenirs that influenced the trend across Britain.
This is a highly collectable piece of Victorian Scottish jewellery, beautifully preserved from the mid-19th Century, with a colourful collection of natural gems on top.
