ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Colorful jaspers and agates are inlayed in this iconic Scottish pin with a Celtic cross center. The pin harkens from the mid-Victorian period when Victoria herself popularized Scotland and all things Scottish when she purchased Balmoral Castle in 1848. We know this is an early piece as the pinstem extends beyond the edge of the pin, a practice that was discontinued shortly thereafter. This pin is in particularly good condition considering its age. An excellent choice as a kilt accent!

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
