富と繁栄と豊穣の「豚」モチーフ

The "pig" motif represents wealth, prosperity and abundance

Pigs are considered lucky charms

Pigs are considered unclean in some parts of the world, such as Hinduism.

Pigs have different impressions depending on the person and the region, but in fact, pigs are considered to be auspicious animals in Western countries such as Germany and Australia.

In Germany, when someone is blessed with unexpected good fortune they say, "I've got a pig." Or, to express their good fortune, they say, "I have a pig."

The English idiom "Pig might fly" is used in a very positive sense to express surprise that something lucky or a miracle has happened, as something impossible has happened.

In China, where pork is widely consumed, it is a symbol of fertility, happiness and good fortune.

As can be seen from the various anecdotes about it around the world, it has been deeply involved in human history as a source of meat since ancient times, and is an animal very close to humans, as it is depicted on pottery from the 6th century BC excavated in Greece.

Pig accessories are considered lucky charms

In fact, if you look into it, you will find that there is a lot of gold jewelry or gold-colored accessories.

It is not uncommon to see pig-themed jewelry made of gold and filled with diamonds.

Some are made simply because they are cute, but animal-motif accessories often have some sort of meaning, so it might be interesting to buy one as a lucky charm.

The meanings of the motifs used in accessories are often taken directly from those found in Western paintings, but some have become established in their own genres independently of paintings, such as Glückschwein (German miscellaneous goods), which combines a pig with a four-leaf clover.It might be worth researching and trying to combine them yourself.
