This vintage gilded bird earring on a 9ct gold wire is just so stunning, and I'll be sad to see it fly to their new home!
 
The birds wings hold rubies, and it carries a natural blue sapphire on it's back. 
 
Rubies are said to act as a protector, protecting your family and home, and is associated with improved energy and concentration, creativity, loyalty, honor and compassion.
Sapphires are also believed to have properties of protection, bringing spiritual insight, and good fortune.
 
Tailing in the wind is an Edwardian gilt tassle, which adds even more movement as this earring flies alongside you.
