Swallow couples often stay together for their entire lives and, after spending the winter in the south, often return to their shared nest. That is why they have the reputation of being lovebirds. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, swallow motifs were a popular symbol of love. The brooch presented here is a double brooch, so that both partners can wear one bird each as a sign of attachment to their partner.
