Antique swallow pendant crafted in 15 carat gold. This gold swallow pendant looks as though it's diving. It's delightfully detailed with careful ridges engraved to resemble feathers. This bird has the sweetest engraved face. Swallows are a common theme in the Victorian era symbolising luck and a safe return home, particularly for those who travel such as sailors. This is such a wonderful piece, simple in design while being easy to wear and large enough to notice. This piece dates to the late 19th century.

In excellent condition. We've replaced the bail using old, matching gold.

Not marked, professionally tested and assessed at 15 carat gold.

Measures approx 22.2 mm / 0.88 inches tall as it hangs not including the bail, by 22.8 mm / 0.90 inches wide.

Weighs 2.1 grams.

This pendant can be added to a modern 9 carat yellow gold chain, as shown on model. Please choose the length you require at checkout.
