Victorian 9ct Gold and Silver Bird Brooch with Diamonds and Pearls

An antique Victorian brooch featuring two birds perched together on a gold branch, pavé-set with mixed old European and rose-cut diamonds. Each birds eye is accented with a small ruby, and pearls are mounted at either end of the bar. Crafted in 9ct yellow gold with silver settings, this brooch is a fine example of romantic 19th-century design symbolism.
