Images of swallows frequently appear in European jewelry and objets d’art from the late 19th and early 20th century. Long associated with the return of spring in the northern hemisphere, the swallow has also traditionally symbolized good luck and hope. Small items featuring swallows were often given to loved ones when they set out on a journey, serving as tokens of protection.
