Antique Victorian Silver Scottish Brooch Anchor Agate

A token of steadfast devotion, a sailor’s promise, a symbol of unwavering resolve, this Victorian Scottish anchor brooch is as much a talisman as it is a work of art. Crafted in silver and inlaid with richly banded agates, it carries the colors of the Highlands: deep forest green, fiery russet, and soft caramel striations that whisper of ancient stones polished smooth by time. The twisted silver rope drapes elegantly around the form, completing a design that speaks of adventure, loyalty, and the romance of the open sea.

Handcrafted in Scotland around 1880, this substantial brooch measures 73.96 mm high by 49.35 mm wide and 11.5 mm deep, weighing an impressive 23.55 grams. The agates are precisely cut and set in silver, with no hallmarks. The anchor motif, a popular symbol during the Victorian era, represented hope and steadfastness, an enduring sentiment carried from the heart to the horizon.

Whether worn as a tribute to Scotland’s craftsmanship or as a personal emblem of strength and constancy, this brooch is a rare and remarkable find, as timeless as the sea itself.
