Turquoise and Seed Pearl Swallow Necklace in 9ct Gold
Turquoise and Seed Pearl Swallow Necklace in 9ct Gold
£825.00
Description
An enchanting late Victorian sentimental necklace, c.1900, retaining its original 9ct yellow gold chain. The oval openwork frame centers a gracefully soaring swallow—a traditional symbol of faithfulness and affection. The bird is meticulously set with shimmering natural seed pearls, carrying a vibrant turquoise cabochon in its beak.
The design is further detailed with a delicate gold leaf spray and a second turquoise drop suspended from the base, adding elegant vertical movement. Finding a period pendant complete with its original contemporary chain is increasingly rare; this piece remains a perfectly preserved example of Victorian symbolic jewellery.
