1890s UK Late Victorian Pearl Flying Swallow Diamond Pendant

An exquisitely crafted swallow pendant! It's so delicate and detailed that our photographer and I couldn't help but exclaim in awe while taking photos: "It's just so tiny and beautiful!" This little swallow embodies four key elements: gold, pearls, diamonds, and exquisite craftsmanship. Though found in Portugal, this swallow has British origins (we searched for a satisfactory swallow in the UK this summer but stumbled upon this one unexpectedly in Portugal). The delicate bird clutches a bright, old European-cut diamond in its beak. The pendant is designed with a special tilt, making it appear like a free-spirited bird in mid-flight.
