Late Victorian Large Pearl Swallow Pendant
An absolutely stunning pendant from the late Victorian period, c1890s. The pendant is made from solid 18ct gold, which is marked on the back, and is a lovely large size. It is a beautiful swallow and is studded throughout with split pearls; these look to be all original. There is very minor evidence towards the tip of one wing on the back that this piece started life as something else, possibly a stick pin or brooch, though it has been converted expertly and this is not at all noticeable. A truly eye-catching statement piece.
