This elegant Regency brooch, dating to the 1820s, is set in 18ct gold and set with a large faceted citrine — a gemstone often known in Scotland as a “Cairngorm.” During the Georgian and Regency periods, citrines from the Scottish Highlands were celebrated for their warm golden tones and became a favourite stone for both men’s and women’s jewellery.

The mount features decorative gold detailing with applied bead and wire ornamentation — a style popular in the 1820s, echoing the fashionable taste for rich yet intricate settings. These small brooches had versatile uses: a gentleman might wear one to secure a cravat, while a lady would wear it at the high neck of a gown.

Steeped in symbolism, citrine has long been associated with prosperity, energy, and warmth — qualities much admired in the early 19th century and still loved today. With its Scottish connections and refined Regency design, this brooch is both a jewel of its era and a timeless collectable.
