Antique Diamond Bird Head Charm of Silver Topped 14k Gold black violet began life as a VictorianAntique Diamond Bird Charm: This charm features a bird's head (possibly a hoopoe) of silver topped 14k gold, studded with sparkling diamonds and a ruby cabochon eye. It was originally an antique stickpin (circa 1880) that our jeweler transformed by removing the pin and adding a 14k gold jump ring bail. The piece measures 0. 5 inches from the top of the jump ring to bottom by 0. 6 inches wide and weighs 1. 06 grams. It is in great condition. Upon
