Swallows were a very romantic symbol in antique jewellery and were said to represent faithfulness. An item with a swallow on it was presented to a loved one as they set out on a journey or given from the person leaving to the loved ones they left behind. It was a reminder of the love shared and a promise to return home safely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"ddc2s-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"ddc2s-0-0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTONES \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.70ct total of Old Cut Diamonds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Rubies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBirds: 1.8 x 1.4cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrop: 1 inch \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWEIGHT \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.6g (pair)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMARKS \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo marks present, tests as silver and 15k gold \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good- conversion from a brooch \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Butter Lane Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49906855706901,"sku":"123151","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1570\/0227\/files\/VictorianDiamond_Ruby_PearlSwallowEarrings_2.jpg?v=1778144623","url":"https:\/\/www.butterlaneantiques.com\/products\/victorian-diamond-ruby-pearl-swallow-earrings","provider":"Butter Lane Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
