Art Nouveau Swallow Necklace in 10K Gold with Ruby | Converted Brooch Pendant | Vintage Bird Jewelry

A rare treasure reborn — this exquisite Art Nouveau swallow has been masterfully converted from a brooch into a wearable necklace pendant, making a one-of-a-kind piece of antique jewelry accessible for everyday elegance.

Crafted in warm 10K yellow gold, this graceful swallow pendant is set with a vivid 2.2mm natural ruby, its deep red hue cradled at the precise point where the bird's beak meets the stone — a breathtaking detail that feels both intentional and painterly. The piece carries the fluid, organic lines that define the Art Nouveau movement: sweeping curves, naturalistic form, and an almost otherworldly sense of life caught in metal.

Dimensions:  14-2.5 mm wide & 7 mm high off the finger
Metal: 10K yellow gold tested & marked on C catch that was removed 
Weight: 1.4 grams
Chain:0.5 mm 16.25" length 10k yellow gold

Ruby: 2.2 mm

The silhouette is a lovely oval shape, perfectly balanced and beautifully proportioned as a pendant. Suspended from a delicate 10K yellow gold light rope chain — just 0.5mm wide and 16 inches in length — the necklace sits gracefully at the collarbone, letting the swallow take center stage.

Swallows have long been symbols of love, loyalty, and safe return — treasured in antique jewelry as tokens of hope and good fortune. This piece is as meaningful as it is beautiful.
