This exquisite little Victorian brooch, crafted in silver with gold details, depicts a delicate swallow in flight surrounded by finely engraved flowers. The ribbon inscribed "Souvenir of San José" suggests it was a sentimental souvenir from the late 19th or early 20th century, a time when travel and personalized mementos were symbols of affection and nostalgia.

Swallows were a popular motif in Victorian jewelry, associated with love, fidelity, and a safe return home. The engraved flowers add a romantic and naturalistic touch, reflecting the influence of the emerging Art Nouveau style. The brooch features a period pin clasp, indicating its age and authenticity.

An ideal accessory for vintage jewelry collectors or for those looking for a piece with history and meaning.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
