Product Description
A vintage 14ct yellow gold swallow brooch featuring detailed wings and long, sweeping tail feathers. The bird rests on a gemstone-set branch decorated with turquoise, emerald, garnets, pink rubies and blue sapphires. One of the garnets forms the bird's eye, while the different coloured stones add interest to the finely worked gold design.
The brooch measures approximately 5cm long and weighs 7.1g, with a pin fastening and safety chain. It is stamped 14K, a mark resembling OOUCO, the number 62 and another indistinct mark. There is a tiny pinhead-sized nick to the emerald beside one of the claws, visible under a 30x jeweller's loupe. The brooch could also be considered for conversion into a pendant by a jeweller.
