Description
Victorian 9ct, 9k, 375 Gold Pearl & Turquoise Swallow sweetheart brooch, pin
Circa 1885

A romantic, Victorian 9ct Gold brooch featuring a central swallow / swift in flight, the bird is mounted with eleven seed pearls and is carrying a tiny cabachon Turquoise gemstone in its beak. The swallow is mounted on a gold knife-edged bar with two pearl mounted Ivy finials. This sentimental, sweetheart brooch was most probably given to a loved one from someone departing for war or travel, as the swallow is the first bird that is seen by sailors when returning to land and the Ivy represents eternal love. So the hidden message would be “I will return soon and my love for you is eternal” Fully hallmarked as follows: Chester assay mark, 9. 375. C (date letter)
The brooch has a T-bar and C- clasp fitting. This lovely swallow brooch is beautifully presented in a new black leatherette and velvet box as displayed
