Vintage Sterling Silver & Marcasite Swallow Bird Demi-Parure – BOOK PIECE
Regular price
$45.00
Pretty little swallow birds perch on a branch, in this vintage sterling silver and marcasite ‘book piece’ demi-parure, appearing in “Popular Jewelry” by Roseann Ettinger.
Although they are dated as 1930s in the book, it's possible that they are later – with the set consisting of a rhodium plated sterling silver brooch with screw-back earrings, in the form of petite swallows or love birds, featuring split tails, tiny faceted marcasites all along the surfaces, and little red garnet cabs for the eyes.
The brooch measures approximately 1&3/4 inches in size, the earrings are about 1 inch in height and have screwbacks marked “Sterling” – and the set in its entirety weighs 14.3 grams.
