In old Portuguese traditions, the swallow is an association of family, love and fidelity
Swallows also have great prominence in old Portuguese traditions and cultural art. The Swallow, or andorinha in Portuguese, appears in Portuguese homes and became a symbol for the house after one of the most well-known artists that Portugal has had, Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro, produced a set of ceramic pieces resembling the swallow in 1891. The Swallow bird has become a very integrated feature of a Portuguese home, a tradition that still lives on today. As the swallow is a migratory bird which always returns to the same place to nest year after year, it is said they always return because a swallow only has one partner throughout its life. So it is no wonder that the swallow is a bird associated with values such as home, family, love, fidelity, and loyalty. As part of the tradition and tale surrounding these Portuguese Swallows, they were exchanged between lovers. Our Swallow Necklace has been greatly inspired by the notion of love and romance, and this cultural tale of the Portuguese ceramic swallows being exchanged between loved ones beautiful encapsulates such emotions. The Swallow Necklace makes for the ideal gift for the one you love most, to remind them just how important they are to you.

What did swallows mean historically for those venturing on adventures?
Historically, the swallow carried great symbolic value for brave, adventurous sailors to show their sailing experience and adventures. A sailor would have one swallow tattooed on their body before setting out on a voyage, and the second swallow tattooed upon his return to the home port, once completing his journey. Should a sailor not make it back; the swallows would carry their soul to the heavens to be laid to rest in peace. This led many sailors to start embracing the Swallow as a symbol of hope and the successful completion of a long voyage. Seeing swallows was a sign that they were nearing shore as these birds never travelled far out to sea and so motivated the sailors on the final miles of their journey back to the mainlands. Today the symbolism of the Swallow still bears importance to sailors, and in general has become an ever-increasing symbol of good luck.
