We love to use bird focals in our jewelry designs! Birds have been given many meanings throughout history. Owls are known to represent wisdom, mystery, and truth. Doves are prevalent in Christianity and represent peace and love. The Thunderbird, a mythical figure, was modeled after majestic eagles and in Native American culture they signify honor, nobility, and valor.
Because they fly high into the sky, birds have also been called the "messengers of the gods." Whether the bird is mythical or real, they have proven themselves powerful symbols and talisman. Your connection to a specific bird species might be religious, cultural, or personal, but their prevalence in our lives should not be denied. Share your personal connection by adding a bird focal to your next design!
