This perfectly formed little antique Victorian lapel/cravat pin boasts an adorable specimen of Scottish carnelian. The spicy red gemstone is semi-translucent with clear milky white banding.
A quality piece, crafted by hand in a sterling silver bezel setting this favourite Scottish pebble is minimalist and elegant, Carnelian is said to restore vitality and motivation, so perhaps this will be the perfect little pick up for someone who needs a boost!
Great for the gents formal too, we did notice little antique brooches like this making fashionable appearances on cravats and lapels at the Cheltenham Gold Cup horse race this year!
