Details
A romantic antique Victorian swallow lavaliere necklace, featuring a petite swallow pendant, with a heart charm dangling from his beak. It’s decorated with natural turquoise and seed pearls, with a small red garnet eye at the head and is fashioned in a sunny 9ct yellow gold, with a fabulous rope-twist chain and tube clasp joining at the wings.
Swallows are known to couple for life and always return home to the nest, making them a wonderful symbol of everlasting love and fidelity. They were particularly popular during the Victorian era, exchanged as romantic tokens by lovers during long periods of separation and were often adorned with turquoise, pearls, and garnets, which further represented eternal love and loyalty.
Dating to the mid 19th Century, this charming Victorian swallow necklace has remained in excellent condition. Its sweet Victorian sentiment has lost none of its charm over the years and would make the perfect antique gift for the one you treasure most.
