This pin is a touching symbol of parental love. Made from 14-karat yellow gold, this piece of jewellery features a pelican feeding its young in its nest. Since ancient times, the pelican has been regarded as a particularly caring bird. The observation that it feeds its young with food that has been thrown out gave rise to the legend that it sacrifices itself for its children: In early Christianity, the pelican was thus seen as a symbol of Christ himself, who shed his own blood for all people and thus redeemed them from sin. We also see the bird here in this self-sacrificing form. With its large beak, it opens its breast to nourish its children with its own blood. The nest in which the four chicks sit is made of light platinum and set with glittering diamond roses. The pin follows models from the years before the turn of the last century, when figurative motifs from nature were particularly popular as showpieces for pins that adorned ties, lapels or scarves. However, a closer look at the workmanship reveals that our needle was created more recently. A beautiful gift not just for parents!
