Antique Emerald Bird Conversion Earrings of 14k Gold fine antique jewelry 9 inches from the topSwallows were a common motif in Victorian and Edwardian jewelry symbolic of faithful love and a safe return home. These Victorian earrings were converted from a pair of antique cuff links (circa 1870 1890). The recessed face of the earrings is a mixed metal, while the domed backs and ear wires are 14k gold. Tiny emerald surmounts add an elegant dash of color. Each earring measures 1. 3 inches from the top of the ear wire to bottom by 0. 9 inches wide.
