Antique Gold Scottish Agate 19th C Pin

This rare offering is a gold Scottish dirk,circa 1880. My passion for early Scottish jewelry has its roots in the beauty that was created not with diamonds or precious stones, but with artistry, creativity and tradition. Truly, it is a form of folk art. This beautiful brooch, in the form of a dirk, would have secured the kilts. Today they are used to adorn coats,capes, hats and sweaters.

This particular dirk is 9k, beautifully engraved,and having a blend of beautiful traditional Scottish colors. The agates are jasper,bloodstone and Montrose gray. The citrines are faceted in the shape of a thistle,the beautiful Scottish flower. It is completely original including the the t-bar and c-clasp. It measures a bold 3 3/4 inches x 1/2 inches at the top. The patina is beautiful and the condition excellent. Most antique Scottish jewelry is rendered in silver,few in gold and finding a fine example rarer still. It is the fine quality that a collector would desire.
