This pair of sterling silver duck and swan earrings are a perfectly mismatched pair. 
 
Dating to the 1920's, the earring is beaded with amber, pearls, aventurine, and amber glass. 
 
Aventurine is believed to be a positive stone of prosperity, diffusing negative emotions, reinforcing leadership, promoting compassion and encouraging perseverance. Amber has historically been worn as a talisman for courage and self-confidence.
 
Ducks symbolise laughter and happiness, good luck, nurturing and bonding, and emotional stability. Swans are associated with fidelity, loyalty in marriage, and monogamy, because they mate for life.
 
What a beautiful mix of symbolism!
