Scottish Pebble and Cairngorm Jewelry
The friendship between Queen Victoria and John Brown has been called “one of the more unlikely upstairs,
downstairs relationships” in British history. Some say they were romantically involved - possibly secretly married.
Whatever form their relationship took, it was one that endured, extending from the death of Victoria’s consort,
Prince Albert, in 1861, to Brown’s demise in 1883. During that time, Brown was the recipient of numerous gifts
of jewelry from Victoria - stick pins, cloak clasps, and cuff and collar studs - engraved with her royal cipher.
Upon his death, his collection also contained kilt pins and brooches adorned with colorful Scottish semi-precious
gems and pebbles.
This collection of Scottish pebble and cairngorm jewelry is unique. Cairngorm is the name given to a citrine
quartz variety with an amber or brown color traditionally mined in the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland. During
the Victorian period cairngorms were extensively used in traditional Scottish jewelry such as kilt ornaments,
bonnet brooches, or carved thistle shapes. Local lapidaries in Edinburgh were skilled in cutting and faceting the
gems to produce stones of a rich, brilliant orange color that were much esteemed and desired. Cairngorms were
particularly prized and often handed down through families. Their popularity led to the local source becoming
overworked and these iconic Scottish gems are now rare.
