VTBB: Swallow Safety Brooch
This lovely antique safety brooch or pin dates from the Victorian era and features a turquoise embellished swallow. This lovely little Victorian swallow is solid silver set with turquoise cabochons
and little red garnet eye. The swallow sits on a sturdy rolled rose gold pin. The pin measures 1" long. There is a tiny bend in the pin stem and some
wear to the gold finish in some areas. Research indicates " in Victorian England a flying swallow was traditionally
considered a token of good luck and the bird represented enduring love and loyalty as the swallow mates for life…". A charming brooch with a lovely meaning from a bygone era of
romance.
