Sweet 15ct Gold Double Swallow Sweetheart Bird Brooch...Or earrings? antique silver paste 5cm to top of bailDescription: These are so, so sweet. We've had a few of these over the years and mostly converted them to pendants or occasionally earrings. We might do the same with these guys but they just look so dynamic and lively and its a great design so we thought we'd give them a go as they are! Swallows are a common motif in Victorian jewellery because of course they always return! A lovely little piece of sentimental jewellery. Age: c1890 Late Victorian
