As mentioned above, even though they are all called birds, the meaning and impression changes depending on the type of bird.

The phoenix, a mythical creature, is also a bird.

This motif is used a lot in antiques, so it might be interesting to try looking for it after learning its meaning.

There are many different kinds of birds, including pigeons and eagles, so the impressions they give are all very different.

Dove, a symbol of peace and love

In ancient Greece, the dove was a symbol of peace and love as it accompanied Aphrodite, and in Christianity it is a symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Generally, a pure white dove is depicted as such a symbol.

There are various ways in which they are made into accessories, such as being depicted as a single bird or two, but they are generally used as a motif for accessories that give a calm impression.

The eagle is a symbol of power and strength and is used in coats of arms.

eagle

The eagle was a favorite heraldic motif of European royalty throughout history.

It is based on the "aproyer" model, which combines a forward-facing torso with a side-facing head.

It is a motif that evokes power and authority, perhaps due to its association with royalty and aristocracy.

In Christianity, the eagle flying towards the sun is the symbol of St. John, so it represents religious excellence.

It was used as a military flag in ancient Rome, and its image of a king as it flies majestically through the sky and has a sharp gaze evokes the image of a king.

The most famous royal family to use a coat of arms in medieval Europe was probably Charlemagne, who is the model for the King of Hearts in a playing card.

Since Charlemagne had used it, Napoleon also used the ``eagle capturing a lightning bolt'' as his emblem, which created the image of ``strong authority = eagle.''

The coat of arms of not only the aristocracy but also the Medici family, who flourished during the Renaissance, once featured an eagle holding a diamond.

Nowadays, the bald eagle is the national bird of the United States, and so an eagle is used on the emblem of the US military.

The Eagle is a very popular Indian jewelry.

The eagle, a very popular piece of Native American jewelry, is considered a messenger from the sky, symbolizing leadership and prestige.

In the case of eagles, just like feathers, they seem to blend completely into fashion, so you may not need to worry too much about the meaning of the motif.

Hummingbirds are birds of good luck

Hummingbird

The hummingbird is a bird that brings good luck and is also a symbol of beauty and love.

It appears in Native American mythology, so it is a motif that is frequently used in Indian jewelry, but it is actually also seen quite often in Western jewelry and antique jewelry (with diamonds and other elements set in it).

It is actually an adorable bird with bright colors, so it is often made into flashy, colorful jewelry.
