Late Victorian 20k Yellow Gold and Silver Swallows and Crescent Moon Brooch
$3,495.00
$3,495.00
A beautifully symbolic late Victorian brooch featuring three finely rendered swallows in rich 20k yellow gold, each captured mid-flight with exquisite naturalistic detail. The birds glide over a trio of silver crescent moons, pavé-set with sparkling rose-cut diamonds that lend the piece a soft, romantic shimmer.
In Victorian symbolism, swallows represented safe return, loyalty, and enduring love, while crescent moons evoked femininity, protection, and new beginnings. Combined, they create a deeply sentimental jewel typical of the era’s fascination with meaningful motifs.
Expertly crafted in silver over gold and set with antique diamonds, this brooch is a rare and enchanting example of late 19th-century sentimental jewelry, rich in artistry, symbolism, and charm.
