{"product_id":"antique-georgian-scottish-pebble-34641","title":"Antique Georgian Scottish Pebble Bracelet: High Carat Gold Gilded Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eA magnificent antique Scottish pebble bracelet, showcasing nine beautifully hand-cut marquise cabochons of natural Scottish agate and jasper, each displaying its own remarkable colours and intricate landscape-like patterns. Set in richly gilded sterling silver, the bracelet is an outstanding example of early Scottish craftsmanship and remains one of the most sought-after forms of antique Scottish jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach stone is mounted in an elegant marquise setting finished with decorative granulated terminals and linked by delicate hand-formed figure-of-eight connectors, allowing the bracelet to drape beautifully around the wrist. The wide articulated design creates an impressive display of colour, with warm honey, moss green, russet, cream and soft grey agates selected to complement one another while celebrating the individuality of every stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScottish agate jewellery became highly prized during the Georgian period, when lapidaries transformed locally collected pebbles into wearable works of art. No two bracelets are ever quite the same, making each surviving example entirely unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet retains its luxurious high-carat gold gilding, which remains an attractive rich yellow with remarkably little wear. It fastens securely with its original shepherd's hook clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn increasingly scarce and highly collectable piece of Georgian Scottish pebble jewellery that is as wearable today as it was over two centuries ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nMETAL: Tested sterling silver with heavy high-carat gold gilding\u003cbr\u003e\nGEMSTONE: Nine hand-cut Scottish agate and jasper cabochons, approximately 25 × 15 mm (1 × ½ in)\u003cbr\u003e\nSIZE: 7\"\/18cm end to end, 1-3\/8\"\/3.5cm wide\u003cbr\u003e\nWEIGHT: 20.9 grams\u003cbr\u003e\nMARKS: None\u003cbr\u003e\nDATE: Circa 1820–1840 (late Georgian)\u003cbr\u003e\nCONDITION: Very good antique condition. The agates are free from chips and cracks, and the clasp remains secure. One small decorative granulated bead beneath the central panel is absent, leaving two rather than three beads. This is a minor cosmetic point visible only on close inspection and does not detract from the bracelet's beauty or wearability.\u003cbr\u003e\n________\u003cbr\u003e\nAt Mercy Madge we offer quality antique and vintage jewellery sourced in Great Britain.
