Pair of buckles set with pebblesThese two buckles set with pebbles date from the late 17th century. The buckles form part of a collection of jewellery which includes earrings and a necklace. They are amongst the earliest examples of pebble-set jewellery in Scotland. The polished pebbles are mounted in pinchbeck - an alloy of copper and zinc which was used as imitation gold.
