Description
This exquisite antique kilt pin, dating back to circa 1880, is a stunning example of Victorian Scottish jewellery craftsmanship.
Made from 15ct gold, the pin is designed in the shape of a traditional Scottish dirk, symbolising heritage and tradition. The body is inlaid with Scottish agate in a striking geometric pattern, featuring deep orange, green, and yellow hues that create a vibrant mosaic-like effect.
The upper part of the pin is adorned with an ornate gold crown-like mount, holding a faceted deep purple amethyst, which adds a regal touch.
The gold setting is intricately detailed, with fine engraving and embossed patterns enhancing the elegance of the piece.
Scottish agate, often called “Scotch Pebbles,” was highly prized in Victorian jewellery for its unique patterns and rich earthy tones, while amethyst was historically associated with royalty and believed to have protective qualities.
This antique kilt pin is not only a fine collector’s piece but also a wearable tribute to Scottish heritage, making it a rare and valuable find for enthusiasts of Victorian-era jewellery.
