So-called "pebble" jewelry was first popularized by Queen Victoria in the mid-19th century. Her passion for family holidays at Balmoral -- her "dear paradise in the Highlands" -- made a rage of all things Scottish, from tartans to folk art jewels featuring the area's colorful agates in settings that evoked the medieval. About 90 years later, artisanal jewelry with Celtic flair appealed to another generation: the BoHo hippies of the late 1960s. This brooch dates from that era. Like the Victorians before us, we happily remixed and romanced the past, teaming fluttery long skirts and sleeves with nugget-like natural stones in rustic mountings. Here a rainbow of six colors is arrayed and each highly polished gem has fascinating depths and variegations. The wreath-like circle in which they're set measures about 1.25 inches round. Provenance is a New England estate and condition is excellent. There's no charge for insured U.S. shipping and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |
