15ct Victorian Swallow with hanging Amethyst heart Pendant

Description

Lovely 15ct swallow circa 1880-1900 converted from a brooch.  It has a vintage  heart  amethyst heart  drop added to make it very eye catching.  The amethyst is a darker purple but a lot of vibrant flashes of bright purple sparkle in this piece.  Hope that makes sense.
The swallow is in good shape, minimal to nothing in scarring from the pin removal and the seed pearls on the front are in good condtion and all very white.  The swallow is a rich yellow color because of the higher gold content.  He is at least 15ct but almost passes the acid test for 18ct.  I think  he is a little higher than 15ct.
Lastly the pendant measures 1 inch across  (the wing span) and with the drop 1 1/4" down.
Note: This is for the sale of the pendant only.  I would pair this with shorter 1 mm or close to chain.
