Retailer Antique Victorian Silver Pressed Swallow Brooch. Wedding Gift Brooch. Victorian Fidelity Symbol.

Antique Victorian brooch hammered or pressed onto a mould to give the tiny embossed pattern that forms a rosette and glitters in the sun.

It looks like this swallow was once painted with more details if you look closely at the photos. The eye has a shimmering drop of pink paint which also glistens in the light.

Because the swallow chooses one mate for life, to the Victorians, it was a symbol of enduring love and loyalty. The swallow also represents a safe return home. Sea voyages during this period were long, arduous, and dangerous.
