735 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty 9ct back and front heart shaped locket that was made circa 1900-1910. The motif if a swallow with a flower sprig in it’s beak. 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. The swallow has been set with natural split pearls and has a garnet eye. The sprig is set with two garnets. What a wonderful gift to give to someone that you love. 9ct gold Back and front means that it is gold but has metal hinges and inner frames.
