How sweet is this antique silver hand engraved swallow brooch and earring set?! Featuring a swallow in flight to each piece, each hand engraving differs slightly, we love this unusual touch. It's so wonderful that the earrings and brooch have stayed together all these years too.
The brooch and earrings are unhallmarked but test as silver. The brooch weighs approx 4.7g in total and measures approx 31.7mm in diameter (not including the pin) by approx 2.5mm deep at the border edge, the inner of the brooch is thinner than this as the brooch steps in at the back.
The earrings weigh approx 3.9g as a pair and each measures approx 22.3mm in diameter by approx 32.2mm tall including the ear fitting at the top.
Condition - Both the earrings and the brooch are in good antique condition for pieces that are over 100 years old but do show several signs of age and wear. There is surface wear to the silver and the centre brooch panel is little misshapen. One of the earring loops where the ear wire/fitting attaches has worn thing and will likely need a repair at some point. We have priced the set to reflect this. The brooch pin still works well and is a simple C clasp and tube hinge. Please see photos.
*Please note the antique box pictured is not included in the sale but the brooch and earrings will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
