Birds frequently appear on antique jewellery, and were incredibly symbolic in the Victorian period. Swallows and doves in particular adorned all kinds of sweetheart gifts such as lockets and bracelets. Swallows are known to mate for life and always return to their nests, so it made sense for them to be on jewellery that lovers would give to each other.
