A beautiful antique Victorian sterling silver swallow pendant, delicately engraved with one of the era's most beloved symbols. The swallow has long represented fidelity, everlasting love and the promise of a safe return home, making this a wonderfully sentimental piece of Victorian jewellery.
Crafted in an elegant oval form, the pendant features a beautifully engraved flying swallow framed by a decorative turret-style border accented with tiny silver beads. A lovely example of Victorian Aesthetic jewellery, it has a delicate presence that makes it perfect for everyday wear or layering with other antique treasures.
Probably originally an earring, it has since been thoughtfully converted into a charming pendant. We have paired it with a new Italian sterling silver fine trace chain, adjustable to 16 or 18 inches, so it arrives ready to wear. Perfect for adding a touch of Victorian charm to your everyday layers.
