C1870 Scottish Agate Daffodil Brooch
About the Item
With its warm colors and natural striations, our Victorian silver daffodil brooch, c1870, is handcrafted with a high degree of skill and the agates are carved perfectly to fit their sterling silver mounts. The smoothness of the agate, the striations of the natural stone combine to make our brooch a visual and sensory delight. This emphasis on the stone cutting, with no embellishment or ornamentation to distract the eye, gives this 19th century brooch an unexpectedly modern look. Both towns of Edinburgh and Birmingham are credited with making agate jewelry a specialty of their workshops, of which our daffodil is a fine example. Similar brooches are featured in the jewelry book Antique and Twentieth century Jewelry by Vivian Becker.

Antique Victorian Serpentine Scottish Agate Brooch
Located in Stamford, CT
Undulating swirls of agate in mellow colors are cut and polished, then set in silver. Texture and softness were created by the jeweler with his choice of patterned agates as well as his ability to sculpt the stone. The pink agates are not frequently seen in scottish 19th century jewelry. Here they beautifully punctuate the horizontal plane. All of the workmanship was performed by hand
Scottish jewelry, as well as Scottish tradition, were brought to the forefront during the second half of the 19th century because Queen Victorian and Prince Albert were deeply involved with and romanced Scottish tradition. At their privately owned castle Balmoral they dressed in Scottish clothing and wore Scottish jewelry. Their dedication brought Scottish agate...
