Another piece I was left by my Scottish Grandmother. She wore this on a long chain whenever she went out. It is rather large with what I believe to be a Cairngorm centre stone. The smaller stones are possibly Cairngorm as well. I am not positive but think it is gold plated over copper. There are no marks on this pendant. I am interested in any information as it will be passed down to my children and I would appreciate to know more about it!
How beautiful! No markings? Could it be brass?
looks silver or gold plated actually. Great stone in the middle
My grandmother is from Scotland too. Well, actually her parents were. She left me a Caringorm piece as well, I will post the link.

I would question the center stone being Caringorm. Stillwater will know best.
Thanks BHock45, I have many other cairngorms which is what leads me to believe this is one as well.
I am not an expert, all I know is that this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us!
One thing I remember my Grandmother saying about this was that Cairngorms, no matter what the temperature is, are always cold. Seems to be very true! Try it with yours!
