A popular design used in the Victorian era, swallows were believed to represent love and were also given as a symbol of returning safely to your loved ones. The swallow mates for life, making this pendant/charm a beautiful gift for a special someone to symbolise your commitment to each other. We think it would make an incredibly sentimental gift for a bride to be!
The charm is made from 9ct yellow gold and has British hallmarks on the back for the maker 'BBD' and 9ct gold. There is also an assay mark but it's not clear enought to read.
The charm measures approx 11.8mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 12.5mm wide by approx 2.9mm deep. The charm weighs approx 0.9g.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some light signs of age and wear, including light surface wear to the gold. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos for more detail.
*Please note the antique box pictured is not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
