A Scottish sterling silver broad axe brooch from 1880-1900. This late Victorian 2-1/16" x 3/4" brooch features hand engraving and shaped green and red jasper agate stones in the shape of a Scottish traditional broad axe. Such Scottish brooches are often referred to as pebble jewelry. It is stamped MADE IN BRITAIN and the lack of full hallmarks was typical at the time hotsell to avoid duties on silver. It tests as sterling silver, it has the original c-clasp, it weighs 3.3 grams and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, dents, bends, corrosion, damage or repairs other than a bit of flattening to the clasp's hoop and a small chip and scrape to the green stone.
Jewelry has signs of use as expected.
