Brooches
Turtledoves
The story of a family who waited many years for the birth of their first child.
This brooch became their heirloom — a cherished symbol of hope and love. What you see here is the artist’s personal recreation; the original remains with the family.
What did the artist hope to convey through this work? A human heart, delicately formed by two birds, nestled closely in a quiet embrace. They coo softly, almost imperceptibly, about the coming of new life — a message not heard, but perhaps read in the finest feathers of the doves.
On the reverse side lies a different story — one of endurance and struggle. Rose branches with thorns fill the inner space like arteries, pulsing with the lifeblood of existence, reminding us that every precious moment is born through both tenderness and trial.

Swallows
This little harbinger of goodness and rebirth has been very significant at all times throughout the world. In Greek mythology, the swallow was an attribute of the goddess of love Aphrodite, in Egyptian it served as the appearance of the most revered goddess of fertility Isis, in Slavic it was one of the birds that keep the keys to Iria - Vedic paradise.
These migratory birds create a pair for life, they know how to feel each other and understand by just one flap of the wing. This is probably why a nest made by swallows under the roof of a house is still considered a wonderful sign and a guarantor of a happy family life.
We invite you to wear this symbol of love and hope in your heart.
