Antique Diamond and Enamel Bird Pendant of 14k Gold

Romantic and symbolic, this Victorian-era pendant (circa 1870) was originally a brooch, later transformed with the addition of a 14k gold bail for modern wear. The jewel depicts a finely detailed gold bird, richly accented with vivid enamel, sparkling rose-cut diamonds, and a single tiny ruby eye — a touch that brings lifelike presence to the design.

Birds in Victorian jewelry often symbolized freedom, hope, and enduring love, making this pendant both sentimental and decorative.

The piece measures approximately 1.2 inches from top to bottom by 1.1 inches wide and remains in excellent antique condition, retaining its crisp detail and luminous sparkle.

The gold content has been professionally verified through X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring the authenticity of its 14k gold construction.
