ITEM: Dating back to the 1890’s these Sterling and Turquoise earrings have so much history behind them. The meaning behind swallow jewellery is completely and utterly romantic. I mean, it makes sense – swallows mate for life and are said to always go back to their nest. The swallow is associated with loyalty, love, and peace. The swallow itself is a very joyful, hopeful, and decisive bird. These earrings are for pierced ears and have Sterling wire backs that latch.
