Mae Swallow Charm
THE STORY:
This Victorian sterling silver sparrow pendant features hand embossed details with a garnet eye. Once a hat pin topper from the late 1800s, this bird in flight once held deep symbolism to its owner who likely wore it as a symbol of hope. This piece was originally sourced in England.
This charm measures 1.5” in width and 1" in height and has been modified with a sterling silver swivel clasp at the top to add to any large link or slide on a delicate chain.
THE HISTORY:
Birds were a popular symbol in the Victorian era and were a common motif in jewelry. Swallows and doves in particular adorned all kinds of pieces. Swallows mate for life and always go back to their nest, so it made sense for them to be on jewelry that lovers would give to each other. The birds were a popular symbol for sailors as well: spotting a them in the sky was the first sign their ship was close to land where they would return to their loved ones.
