Swallows with Pearls and Ruby EyesThe Story: Swallows were often given as sweetheart gifts by sailors to their loved ones as a symbol of faithfulness and homecoming, because swallows were said to lead ships back to shore. Set with seed pearls and tiny ruby eyes in gold, these two are not identical and flying in different directions part of their charm, if you ask me. The Details: Brooch conversion earrings with wire hook fittings. Seed pearls are well matched with a silvery hue.
