This little guy is dainty! I have to zoom to show detail and condition but in real life it is quite miniature! You might also refer to the group photo for scale compared to other pieces.
Beautiful 1800s Victorian to Georgian antique figural swallow bird charm or pendant crafted in silver and set with little rose cut diamonds for sparkle.
The swallow also represents love, care and affection towards family and friends, showing the loyalty of the person always returning to them. The swallows also represent everlasting love and are associated with loyalty and fidelity.
The silver and diamonds are dark gray from age and patina.
Found on a recent inventory trip to Texas. No hallmarks remain.
Antique boxes, pendants / displays and any additional items in photos are not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
It's a little guy! 10mm from top to bottom by 22mm.
Weight is 1.7g.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Some tool marks to the back. Typical antique diamonds that are gray from age to the closed back. No stones are missing, it has a nice sparkle and detail for its little size. So cute!
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
