Diamonds & demantoid garnets fly your way in the guise of this antique Victorian barn swallow bird motif brooch & pendant. Graceful & glittering, it was a popular motif in the Victorian era circa 1880. For the bird's mate for life so have long been associated with fidelity & loyalty. Beyond that, their joyful soaring presence, & lighting quick acrobatics along with their glossy colorful blue feathers, embody freedom & joy. On the cusp of the change from the Victorian to the Edwardian eras, the bird is studded with white to the eye diamonds.
