Description

Very pretty Victorian 9ct Gold Aquamarine Swallow Pendant Necklace. This very rare and pretty necklace has a lovely shaped swallow decorated with seed pearls and carrying a little aquamarine gem in its mouth. The pendant is 3cm in diameter and is in excellent condition for its age. The aquamarine is 3mm x 3mm and forms the head of a flower in the birds mouth. This is a rare find and would make a great gift. This pendant is hallmarked to 9ct and comes with a strong 42 inch 9ct gold chain which appears to be original to the necklace. Weight 5.7g.

Photographs are ZOOMED with x5 magnification. SO Please Check Sizes And Weights before purchasing as JEWELLERY IMAGES ARE ENLARGED!!

All items are checked by a professional Jeweller for authenticity however no certificates are provided.

Finally - by purchasing a Used /Vintage/ Antique ring you are recycling a beautiful piece of jewellery and gemstone. In buying a ring which has been in circulation for this long is the most environmentally ethical way to purchase jewellery. Purchasing antique jewellery allows you to both support smaller local businesses and but encouraging the reuse of the vast amount of timeless jewels that are already in circulation and reduces the demand for further stripping of our planets resources.

During the Victorian era, motifs of swallows symbolised safe return, loyalty, and enduring affection, frequently incorporated into sentimental tokens and love tokens.

Jewellery from this period typically utilised 9-carat or 15-carat gold, often accented with natural seed pearls, aquamarines, garnets, or other regional gemstones.

Authenticity is usually determined by hallmarks indicating gold purity, traditional hand-fabricated construction techniques, integrated clasp designs, and characteristic patination of the metal.

Historic necklaces can be layered with modern fine chains or worn individually as a focal point against minimalist clothing to highlight their intricate craftsmanship.

Pieces should be stored individually in soft pouches away from moisture, cleaned gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and kept away from harsh ultrasonic cleaners or chemical solvents.
