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. Two clear Hirondelles crystals are mounted in silver on a bangle covered by galuchat with a leather fish.
