{"product_id":"antique-edwardian-opal-pendant-enamel-swallow-silver","title":"Antique Edwardian Opal Pendant Silver Enamel Swallow","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis sweet antique Edwardian swallow and opal Lavalier pendant dates to the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts period (c. 1910s). This rare treasure features an enormous natural opal suspended from two chains to a swallow above, finished in vibrant blue and green vitreous enamel. The mesmerising opal displays a distinctive, striped rainbow effect, shifting from neon mint green and electric blue to soft sunset pinks and oranges with the light. It’s secured in a distinctive \"sawtooth\" silver bezel, a hallmark of early 1900s hand craftsmanship, with a new sterling silver loop added to the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSteeped in sentiment, this piece was likely a token of love, and perhaps worn by a woman awaiting a partner's return from the Great War, as the swallow symbolised \"Safe Return\" and faithfulness, while the opal represented hope. This pendant was a wearable prayer for safety and tells a beautiful story of enduring devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn excellent condition with preserved enamel and opal, this is an essential antique treasure for Art Nouveau collectors or romantic souls. A rare, meaningful piece that is ready to be cherished once again. Style it on a silver chain and let its magnificent opal catch the light and inspire hope once more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/b\u003e: 6 grams \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMEASURES\u003c\/b\u003e: Height 48mm (55mm inc. loop) x Width 23- 25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMETAL\u003c\/b\u003e: Sterling Silver (stamped) \u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\"\u003e           \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTONES\u003c\/b\u003e: Natural Opal (17 x 25mm)  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAGE\u003c\/b\u003e: Edwardian.
