Antique Victorian Gold Scottish Cairngorm Brooch

Details

This fabulous Antique Victorian 15ct Gold Scottish brooch is Circa 1860.

Scottish jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria as it became a souvenir of her frequent trips to Scotland and her Scottish Castle Balmoral from the mid 1800s.

The wonderful brooch is set with a large central Cairngorm which is over 20ct in size.

Cairngorm is a type of Quartz found in the Cairngorm mountain range in Scotland. It is most commonly yellow/ brown in colour and shines with radiant beauty.
