Antique Scottish Pietra Dura Silver Agate Brooch - Chilli Agate

This Victorian-era Scottish agate brooch features a striking circular design with multicolored agate plaques arranged in a cross formation, all set in silver and measuring 1.5 inches across. What makes it genuinely distinctive is a naturally occurring chilli pepper image within one of the stones—a playful detail that speaks to the randomness of Mother Nature's artistry. The original hinge, clasp, and pin remain in working order, making this a wearable piece of 19th-century craftsmanship that works equally well pinned to a hijab, scarf, or lapel.
