Swallows have long symbolized love, loyalty, and safe return, making them a cherished motif in Victorian jewelry. This finely crafted brooch captures that sentiment beautifully, featuring a graceful swallow adorned with vibrant turquoise cabochons and two fiery ruby eyes.

The piece is composed of 800 silver—a slightly lower silver content than sterling (925/1000)—a common standard in 19th-century European jewelry. It measures 0.8 inches tall by 2.25 inches wide and weighs 6.49 grams, offering both delicacy and presence when worn.

Condition is very good. A close inspection reveals a few tiny nibbles to the turquoise cabochons, as well as a later replacement of the c-clasp, consistent with careful preservation and wear over nearly 150 years (circa 1880).
