A lovely vintage 9ct yellow gold brooch depicting a magpie sat on a branch carrying a ring with a diamond eye.
"The magpie is generally seen as an ill-omen in many western societies, and a positive omen of love in many eastern communities. They are associated with witchcraft, magic, divination and prophecy. They are also associated with wight-lore, and the symbolism of bridges."
I personally love magpies and find this brooch to be stupendously charming. The rubies are bright and pink and are a wonderful addition to this already delightful piece.
