Victorian 1.50ct Diamond Swallow Brooch, c.1880s

This stunning swallow brooch dates to the Victorian era. A collection of old mine cut diamonds adorn the elegant bird design totalling 1.50 carat. Claw set into beautifully patinaed silver, each diamond ranges in colour from G to H and in clarity from VS to SI. A pair of small 0.01 carat rubies take on the likeness of the bird’s eyes, truly bringing the piece to life. Backed in 15 carat yellow gold, this beautiful brooch features a simple pin back for ease of wear and a safety chain for added security.
