The swallow has always meant coming home. Sailors had them tattooed after a safe return, and here their arrival every spring is the first proper sign that winter is done with. That makes this necklace a thoughtful gift for someone who has moved away, for a friend returning after a long time abroad, or simply for a person who loves watching them come back over the fields each year. The pendant is 925 sterling silver, cut as a clean silhouette with the wings swept back. It arrives in our suede gift pouch.
Finish options: Sterling Silver, a bright polished finish across the full silhouette with a high shine that follows the sweep of the wings. Gold, 18ct gold plated over 925 sterling silver, for a warmer tone that suits gold jewellery already in the collection.
Chain length options: 14 inches, sits high on the neck, best suited to children and petite frames. 16 inches, sits at the base of the neck, a classic choker length. 18 inches, our most popular length, sits just below the collarbone and works with most necklines. 20 inches, sits on the chest, ideal for layering or wearing over knitwear. 22 inches, a longer drop that sits lower on the chest.
This pendant is wider than it is tall and hangs at a slight angle, so 18 inches or above gives it room to sit properly against the neckline.
Every order arrives in a Potiega suede gift pouch as standard. If you would like it presented in our white gift box with a gift card, please tick the gift box option at checkout for a small additional charge.
