The Turtledoves (Amour) were the third Annual Edition made for SCS members, and the final piece in the “Caring and Sharing” trilogy. It depicts 2 Turtledoves on a branch. Hand assembly can give rise to different positioning of the 2 birds. The turtledoves are made from clear crystal and have frosted beaks, and they sit on a matt crystal base designed to resemble a branch/log. This piece can only be found with the swan SCS logo.
The Turtledoves – the last piece in the ‘Caring and Sharing’ trilogy, were an allegory to love. On the one side, Swarovski crystal, with its brilliance and intensity, was simply the best material for expressing this, and on the other side, almost like life itself, it is fantastic to see, that, depending on how the light strikes the two doves, entirely unexpected reflections blaze up and then disappear again just as quickly. Fully cut crystal birds on a matt crystal branch.
An optional blue velvet stand and a silver plastic plaque were made to go with this piece originally. Later, a clear “Caring and Sharing” plaque was issued by public demand!
