Many antique and vintage jewellery items are covered in motifs and symbols. The plants, animals and the type and colour of the jewels used aren't just pretty embelishments - they have a real meaning - a secret language hidden in your jewellery. Nearly all cultures believe that a ladybird is lucky. Many societies also link the sight of a ladybird with future luck in love, good weather, a financial windfall, or the granting of wishes. Having a ladybird land on you is supposed to be particularly lucky in some cultures, and some people believe that when a ladybird lands on an object, that object will be replaced by a new and improved version. In other words, ladybirds mean good luck.

A touch of Art Deco style from the time of glitz and glamour.
