Edwardian 15ct Gold Swallows on a Crescent Moon Brooch

107N
860 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A really unusual “Novelty brooch” as they are called, of five swallows sitting on a crescent moon. The Crescent moon celebrates the feminine moon goddess and therefore is associated with female empowerment. It also symbolises change as it waxes and wanes, and spirituality. The swallow was considered daring, risk-seeking, and a symbol of change for good in the future. It also meant “Everlasting love” and “loyalty” as swallows mate for life. So this brooch has hidden sweet meanings.
