AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Special antique Scottish brooch in the shape of a dirk, the traditional long dagger from the Scottish Highland culture.
This type of brooch became particularly popular during the Scottish Revival in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The brooch is made of sterling silver and inlaid with various colored materials, characteristic of this type of Scottish jewellery.
At the top there is a faceted purple paste/glass paste stone. Below it sits a small dark green hardstone, presumably bloodstone/heliotrope, and in the elongated part a reddish-brown hardstone that visually matches jasper or agate.
On the reverse side it bears only STERLING SILVER. No maker's mark. The brooch has a simple open pin closure (type C clasp), without modern safety, which together with the construction and material choice fits a dating around the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century.
The brooch is in good antique condition with wear appropriate for its age. On the back of the section with the purple stone there is a deeper scratch visible. At the height of this section there is also a small dent. Otherwise there are no notable damages and the various insets are still securely in place.

Seller's Story
I am Melanie, a graduate goldsmith with a specialization in vintage and antique jewelry.
My love for jewelry has been with me since childhood: weekends I spent at markets and fairs, fascinated by the craftsmanship and the stories behind each piece.
After completing my training as a goldsmith, I combined my technical knowledge with my passion for heritage in my company Feniks.
There I focus on jewelry with character — carefully selected pieces in gold and silver, that exude quality, craftsmanship and originality.
Each piece of jewelry is checked for authenticity and stands for sustainable beauty: timeless, not trend-bound, and with respect for the craft.
