Scottish pebble jewelry was fashionable during the Victorian era. It was made from natural agates and granites found along roads, streambeds, and shorelines. The pieces usually feature Scottish symbols and themes, such as thistles, stags, and Celtic crosses. Interest in Scottish jewelry surged when Queen Victoria bought Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and Sir Walter Scott‘s novels gained popularity.
