For sale is this wonderful Victorian pin. This lovely antique 18k gold pin is decorated with a small heart with in its centre a Red enamelled swallow. In the Victorian Era swallows represented love and constancy across time and distance, because swallows are known to mate for life and to always return to their nest after they went away for some time. Swallow themed jewels were therefore often gifted to young couples by their loved once, or each other, on their wedding day. This beautiful pin is very good condition considering its age and is breathtaking in real life.
Queen Victoria, who reigned during the 19th century, was an influential person. Her style and sense of fashion became almost a benchmark during her reign.
