Swarovski Dancing Swan Ring 5520712 White, Rhodium Plating

Product Information

The rings can be particularly usefull, especially in our parts around Worcestershire as a swan rescue group, as we are able to identify which pairs are which, where a swan may have come from, and what they have previously been rescued for (if it is the case). Nest building for the next generation of cygnets starts in February/March, and eggs are laid later in March. After incubation of around 40 days, where Grace will remain on the nest, Cygnets tend to hatch around the first week of May. Gabriel teaches each year’s cygnets how to ring the Gatehouse bell for food before the cygnets leave the moat in the winter/springtime to start life on their own. Our current pair of Mute Swans, Grace and Gabriel, arrived in May 2019, thanks to Swan Rescue South Wales. All records of ringed birds are valuable.

Our former swan pair, Bryn and Wynn, who were long-standing and much-loved, sadly left us. Bryn, the cob, passed away in April 2018, and Wynn, the pen, departed from the Moat, along with her four remaining cygnets, in October 2018. For example, choose a pear-shaped vivid colour stone to be set in one ring and a round or marquise shape gemstone in the other one. Combine it with a different finish – the polished ring looks gorgeous alongside the satin finish band. And you can also play with the metal. Platinum ring next to the rose gold is a fantastic combination.Ringing data make a major contribution to the study of population changes and to our understanding of species declines. Bird populations are determined by the number of fledglings raised and the survival of both juveniles and adults. The meaning of a swan is grace, beauty, love, trust, and loyalty. And a pair of swans represent soul mates for life. Therefore, this pair of swans is ideal for representing an engagement and wedding ring that fit inside each other.

The Swan rings can be made in white, rose, yellow gold or platinum and set with or without diamonds. And if you are not a diamond fan, there are countless beautiful coloured gemstones you can choose from. This curvaceous ring is called the Swan due to the ‘S’ flows up and around the stone. The ring shank sweeps up and curves around the central gemstone. Whilst the recovery of the British Mute Swan population may in large part be attributed to the reduced incidence of lead poisoning, locally other factors may have had an equal contribution to the observed changes ( Ward et al. 2007). Recent years have also seen an increase in the availability of suitable breeding habitats, in the form of the large numbers of gravel pits and ponds that have been created. Improvements to the water quality of rivers and canals, as a result of efforts to reduce pollution, may have also helped the species ( Coleman et al. 2001, Rowell & Spray 2004). The number and activity of Swan Rescue Centres may also have an effect on the Mute Swan population size ( Delany et al. 1992, Perrins & Martin 1999), although there is little documented evidence to support this. Other factors affecting local populations include increased protection of nesting birds; in an English Midlands study area, this was considered a key factor in the reversal of the 1960s and 1970s decline ( Coleman et al. 2001).Robinson, R.A., Leech, D.I. & Clark, J.A. (2023) The Online Demography Report: bird ringing and nest recording in Britain & Ireland in 2022. BTO, Thetford ( http://www.bto.org/ringing-report, created on 21-September-2023) Other Features: The fitted wedding band follows the shape of the Swan ring in one way to create an elegant and beautiful wedding ring set. Or it creates funky and more open look by turning the band the other way round. The band can be set halfway with diamonds or coloured gemstones, highlighting the engagement ring’s centre gemstone. Whilst ringers collect data on survival, volunteers for the Nest Record Scheme collect information on productivity. The results can be analysed in combination with population trend data, such as that collected through the BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey, to determine at which stage of a bird’s life cycle there might be a problem. This enables scientists and conservationists to target appropriate mitigation measures. Reporting ringed birds These beautiful fluid curves make this Swan ring a firm favourite with those who like their jewellery simple but striking. Perfect for that special occasion but equally wearable every day. You may also notice a smaller metal ring on the other leg which is known as a BTO ring. The same goes for these.

So far, we have a variety of unique rings to choose from, starting with the Vermicelli wire collection or rings with a rough-cut gemstone, leading to our nature-inspired collection. But there is always room for a different style, and I can always find time to add something new and fresh, so I present to you the Swan collection. Wood et al. ( 2019) investigated some of the above hypotheses by examining the inter-annual variation in the Mute Swan population in Great Britain between 1974 and 2012, and concluded that the trends were best explained simply by the banning of lead weights rather than by winter temperature, water quality, the extent of agricultural food resources or by a combined model which included more than one of these four co-variates. The BTO Ringing Scheme is funded by a partnership of the British Trust for Ornithology, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (on behalf of: Natural England, Natural Resources Wales and NatureScot and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Northern Ireland)), The National Parks and Wildlife Service (Ireland) and the ringers themselves. The Nest Record Scheme is funded by the BTO and JNCC. European longevity records (collated by EURING) - note these estimate the time the bird has been aliveA single stone open Swan ring is handmade from one piece of precious metal of your choice and can be either highly polished, satin-brushed or hammered texture if you fancy a bit more of a rustic look. My intention was to create contemporary, simple, and fun rings where you can choose two different designs and be able to wear them in more than one way.
