Golden Swallow & Olive Branch Brooch

In the oldest stories, a bird flies home with an olive branch to show that the storm has passed and land is near. The swallow has long stood for safe journeys and return. The olive branch stands for peace, and for what grows when we stay.

This set brings the two together. The swallow is a smooth, polished gold-tone silhouette in full flight. The olive branch has slender, open-work leaves, each one catching the light at a slightly different angle.

You can wear them as a pair. The branch looks lovely at the collar with the swallow just below, as if it’s flying towards it. You can also wear them apart, the branch on a lapel or scarf and the swallow on a coat or jacket. Against white linen or a soft knit, they look like a small piece of sculpture.
