What it means
Swallows come from sailors' flash, where they marked distance at sea and the promise of land. On the neck they are visible every day, which is worth thinking about: the design is old and well liked, and it is also one of the few that some people still read as a mark of time served, a meaning it picked up in Britain and Australia.
Most people who see it will read travel, return or freedom, and the wearer decides which.
