.1901 .925 antique Birmingham silver double swift swallow heart sweetheart pin brooch

The sentiment behind this brooch is just perfect - a pair of swift swallows dangle a little heart charm from their beaks.

The symbolism of the Swift Swallow birds represented love, loyalty, fidelity, and safe return home to Victorian and Edwardian sweethearts.

It is lovely, with the sterling silver hallmark reading for Birmingham, circa 1901.

The brooch is a nicely sized item at 53mm long and a good weight of 4.1 grams.
