Antique Diamond Swallow Brooch
Graceful and symbolic, this antique swallow brooch dates to the late Victorian era (circa 1890). The swallow, a beloved motif of the period, represented loyalty, safe return, and enduring love — sentiments that made it a cherished jewel for travelers and sweethearts alike. The bird is finely crafted in silver-topped 14k gold, a technique often used in the 19th century to highlight diamonds against a bright, reflective surface. Its wings and body are set with glittering old-cut diamonds, enhancing the lifelike form with brilliance and movement. The brooch measures approximately 1.1 inches high by 1.7 inches wide, weighs 6.40 grams, and remains in excellent antique condition, retaining its elegance and crisp detail. Its gold and silver content have been professionally verified using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming authenticity and quality.
