About the Item

This is a gorgeous antique Victorian Dove Swallow Bird of Peace Pendant Necklace adorned with a Pearl in it its mouth, a Ruby eye, and seed pearls throughout creating the white feathers of the dove. The lavaliere pendant has an extraordinary three-dimensional design of a flying dove bird carrying the pearl offering of peace in its mouth set within a laurel wreath motif in 10 Karat Gold. The eye of the bird is a lovely Ruby cabochon. The laurel wreath has stunning gold work with wonderful details of the individual leaves. During the Victorian period jewelry with images of birds was given to lovers to signify constancy over time. The swallow is symbolic of peace, cheerfulness and free spirit. The Dove is symbolic of peace. The work is exquisite with elegant pearls creating the feathers of the bird, the ruby eye and the three dimensional flowing design of the flying bird. The bird holds a pearl in its beak. The piece is one of the most beautiful antique animal, bird motif jewels we have seen. It is antique and dates to the Belle Epoque, Victorian period. The romantic bird pendant dances delightfully around the neck and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. Animal and bird inspired jewels are all the rage today and finding one with so much romance is just a dream. The pendant dates to circa 1850 - 1900. During the Victorian period jewelry with birds was often given to signify love and constancy across both distance and time. Jewelry featuring birds was often given to young couples or exchanged between them on their wedding day, and was worn by both men and women. The pendant is 1 1/4 inches (32mm) tall including the bales and 1 1/8 inches (28mm) wide. The jewel is 10 Karat Gold. The jewel weighs 2.8 grams. A pin stem may have been removed at some period. The listing is only for the pendant. The chain is only shown for display.
