Edwardian Pearl Swallow Bird Brooch
A charming antique Edwardian 9ct yellow gold and seed pearl brooch in the shape of a swooping swallow. Set with eight graduated seed pearls to form the body of the bird, this delightful example of Edwardian craftsmanship is a testament to its time.
Swallows in jewellery of this period were often representative of love and loyalty, and may have been given as a gift when a loved one left home for a long journey. Knowing that these birds always return to their nests, these pieces may have been bestowed as tokens of love, with the promise of a safe return.
“True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.”
~ William Shakespeare
