<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 4325903, member: 18716&quot;]Just a decorative brooch, very popular from the late 19th century onwards, I see a lot of them here in the UK.&nbsp; Lots of English middle class visited Scotland in the summer and also during grouse/hunt season and bought items like this while there.&nbsp; Earlier ones are commonly unmarked like yours, which is probably late 19th/early 20th century from the looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly although silver was required to be 925 in the UK some of the early ones can be of a lower grade, so possibly made elsewhere and imported, or some Scottish makers were using 830 silver.&nbsp; The stones are also commonly glass (hand cut) as well as citrine/cairngorm/smoky quartz/agate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
