Lovers of Scottish jewellery, this is for you.

Gold examples are so much rarer than silver, and often show superb workmanship, as in this nine-carat example from about 1880.

The carefully chosen contrasting stones have bevelled edges and are separated by a thin gold sheet, highlighting the uniqueness of each.

The locket back contains the hair of a loved one.

This was once a working padlock but has been neatly adapted to a pendant, with the arm now permanently closed.

Fine engraving adds a flourish to the delightful curves of the shield shape.
