About this piece
In 1842, a young Queen Victoria traveled to Scotland. Treated to a great show of Highland pageantry and impressed by the country's beauty, she purchased Balmoral Estate as a retreat for her family. The family began wearing the Royal Stuart tartan and often donned them for state balls. Naturally, they needed complementing jewelry, and the queen began collecting agate jewelry native to the region. This intricately fashioned, colorful and sizeable brooch is such a piece. Hand fabricated in silver, it is hand engraved and set with a colorful array of agates (bloodstone, jasper, lace agate), while a quartet of amber-colored glass cabochons add a golden glow. A queenly collectible, circa 1880-1900.
