Collection: Agate Jewelry

Scottish agate, or pebble jewelry, sets locally found agates and hardstones into silver, often in brooches and bracelets inspired by Highland motifs. It became popular during the Victorian era and remains a distinctive, collectible category of antique jewelry.

Yes. Agate is a natural, banded variety of chalcedony, a form of quartz. Some agates are gently dyed to enhance color, a traditional practice, and we note any known treatment on each piece so you know what you are buying.

Agate is reasonably hard and wears well, though it can chip if struck sharply. Store pieces separately and clean them gently with a soft cloth. We grade the condition of each piece and note any old repairs before it is offered.
