This stunning antique, mid Victorian era Scottish agate and Silver bracelet is really something else. The bracelet features beautifully faceted panels of polished banded agate each ...

A stunning and uncommon early Victorian (circa 1850s) bracelet was hand-crafted in silver and features eight hand-carved and polished agate gemstones. Among the different varieties of agate in the bracelet are Scottish Montrose agate, moss agate, carnelian, dendrite agate, and bloodstone. Each stone was hand-carved and polished and measures approximately 22mm x 9mm. The faces of each stone are slightly domed while the backs are polished flat and smooth. Each agate has been painstakingly drilled to accommodate the handmade silver chain. The clasp is also handmade, of course, and features a foliate flourish. The safety chain is a unique and handmade chain and is original to the bracelet. One of the stones wears a sterling band. This would be an old repair and it would also be the reason I bought this bracelet. I love well-done old repairs. They show such reverence. I happen to know through a very reliable source that HRH The Prince of Wales has his fine suits mended as need be instead of merely replaced. We throw away too many fine things. We don't mend enough. Bracelets such as this became popular in the middle of the 19th Century, which is when this bracelet was created so it is an early example and that makes it both important and rare. I cannot tell you how many Scottish agate...

This rare agate bracelet, sets in gold. one of the best examples of stone sculpting I have found in Scottish jewelry. The stones as elongated pyramids or abstract bows. Image 6 shows the agate shapes perfectly. Click, if you will, on a close up of the bracelet to clearly see the rich colors of the agates. Terra Cotta stippled with greenish black, mossy agate with peach, olive with charcoal ripples, peach with bisque, and a crest shaped padlock of orange, green, tan and white are the natural shades of the stones. The central stripe of tan on the padlock is lighter in person than is represented on my computer screen. Scottish jewelry played a large role during the reign of Queen Victorian and Prince Albert. This was a monarchy that steeped itself in Scottish culture and tradition. The pair built a castle in Scotland known as Balmoral Castle. There they would live and don traditional Scottish clothing...
