Marcasites
are known as "Black Diamonds"; they are formed from Hematite – an
iridescent black-grey stone found in the mountains of the English Lake
District. Large crystals have so much lustre that they used to be used as
mirrors!

A Beautiful pair of Quality Victorian Silver drop Earrings set
with fine Scottish Agates.
There are three pieces of smooth,
carved Cairngorm Agates set into each Silver drop, including Jasper and
Bloodstone Agate.
It was Queen Victoria and her love
of all things Scottish who instigated the fashion for this type of
jewellery. When she purchased Balmoral in 1848, the Queen's children and
her guests wore tartans at a Ball to mark the opening of the 1851
Exhibition and were all required to dress in Scottish outfits. The heart
of English society was entirely captivated by the subtle colours of moss
and heather, the mysteries of high grey castle walls and the strict
heraldry which still ruled the clans.
All types of Scottish Pebble jewellery are now becoming scarce and
highly sought after, with prices for even later and modest pieces going
sky-high, so - an excellent Investment.
The superb craftsmanship and work that went into making these pieces is
now being recognised worldwide.
Attractively engraved, they
drop 1 ¾ inches by 10mm at the widest, and are in Excellent Condition.
They come in a Beautiful, Quality
Gift presentation Box, too.
