European Emblems Special

Hello everyone.

It's already late March. It's time to start a new life!!

It's already been three months since the RUKA shop blog started at the beginning of the year! Have you all enjoyed it? We'll continue to introduce RUKA jewelry from various angles so that you can get to know it better, so please look forward to it♪

Well, today we will be introducing some motifs that are often used in military and emblem items that have a huge fanbase among RUKA!

These POP and cool items are so appealing, you won't be able to escape!

Let's start with this one. This may be the most frequently used item among RUKA's military items. It has an "eagle " motif.

The eagle has been used as a symbol of power and as a coat of arms by kingdoms and cities throughout Europe.

If you notice the difference between the motifs on the top and bottom, you're in luck!

Did you know that even though they are all called "eagles," there are single-headed and double-headed eagles?

This item features the Russian coat of arms, which features a double-headed eagle inherited from the coat of arms of the Russian Empire.

It features three crowns on an eagle's head and a knight slaying a dragon in the center.

On the other hand, this is the national emblem of the United States, the single-headed eagle .

It's amazing how many countries still use the eagle as their symbol today!

Now, the next item is the motif of the lion, which, like the eagle, has been used as a symbol of royalty.

In ancient times, England used the lion as its coat of arms.

In the past, the same coat of arms could not be used at the same time, so it seems that many lion coats of arms were created in England alone.

This is the current coat of arms of the United Kingdom, depicting the national animals of England and Scotland, the lion and the unicorn.

Lastly, here is the most famous French coat of arms, the "Fleur-de-lis" .

The lily was a symbol of the Virgin Mary and a symbol of " charity and purity." In France, where faith in the Virgin Mary was strong, the lily coat of arms was used and inherited as the coat of arms of the Bourbon dynasty.
