Swallows enchant us as graceful announcers of springtime and messengers bearing good news. This symbolic bird aspires to represent a good omen and is a good-luck charm throughout the world. Rene Lalique used this motif widely in his work. A famous series of designs pays tribute to swallows which he represented in flight.
The Hirondelles brooch is composed of a clear crystal mounted on silver.
