ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

It's well established that Victorians were a sentimental sort, their jewelry featuring all manner of symbolic elements. This charming pendant/brooch shines with a diamond-set, ruby-eyed swallow—a symbol of love, loyalty, and a safe return home (particularly for sailors and their loved ones).  With wings spread, he appears to fly through a wreath of natural pearl-centered 'flowers' with emerald petals interspersed by bright blue sapphires, and is happy to represent whatever he means to you. Hand fabricated in silver over 18K gold, circa turn-of-the-20th-century, it suspends from an 18K gold chain that measures 16 inches (total length of necklace is 16 5/8, including the width of the pendant).

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
